Hamilton Square was designed and built in the 19th Century. Building started in the 1820s, but it took 20 years to complete. The land had been bought by William Laird, a Scottish shipbuilder who opened a shipbuilding yard in Birkenhead. The Georgian architecture is similar to that found in Edinburgh's New Town.
