Gateway, Conway Street, Birkenhead
The main ("grand") entrance to Birkenhead Park is a majestic affair. The central arch is flanked by a pair of lodges and the whole bristles with Ionic columns. By John Robertson and Lewis Hornblower, c1845. Grade II* listed.
Birkenhead Park, which opened in 1847, was the first publicly-funded park in the country. Joseph Paxton conceived the overall plan, his pupil Edward Kemp supervised work, and Robertson and Hornblower designed most of the buildings.

Wallasey Corporation bus 41 on Park Road North, Birkenhead ? 1967
Route 11 was one of a number of routes linking Wallasey and Birkenhead operated jointly by the two municipal transport departments. No.41 is a Leyland PD2 with Metro-Cammell bodywork, built in 1951. This was essentially a pre-war design of bodywork and was looking very old-fashioned by this time.
A feature of the view is the absence of traffic on what was and still is a major road, even allowing for the fact that the picture was taken on a Sunday.
The building on the right is part of the old Birkenhead General Hospital, demolished in the 1980s when the new Arrowe Park Hospital was developed.
