Roman Boathouse and Birkenhead Park Lake
Birkenhead Park was designed by Joseph Paxton who also designed the Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition of 1851 and Princes Park, Liverpool. It opened on 5 April 1847 and is regarded as the first public park in the world and it is widely accepted that, after visiting the park in 1850 during a tour of Europe, American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted incorporated many of the features he observed into his design for New York's Central Park.

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.
