Christ the King Church, Beckwith Street
This is a beautiful church with a sandstone exterior. I was a bit confused by this as I always knew it as St Anne's Church, but apparently that closed in 1987. The church was built in 1847.

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.

Disused railway crossing Duke Street, Birkenhead
A disused level crossing where a railway serving the docks once crossed Duke Street. The height of the bushes on the track bed on the other side of the road give a clue as to how long it might be since trains used this line.

Wirral and Mersey Special crossing Duke Street, Birkenhead ? 1966
The train is travelling along the main line owned by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board which ran the full length of the docks.
The road crossed here was one of the main links across the docks into Wallasey, as well as providing access into the docks themselves; the policeman in his box would have busy directing the traffic, and having to take into account the significant amount of passing rail traffic as well as road traffic.
