Located in the imposing, Victorian, Hamilton Square which was designed by Gillespie Graham. This could almost be in Edinburgh's New Town!

Wirral Museum/ old Town Hall, Birkenhead
Birkenhead town hall opened in 1887, completing the last space in Hamilton Square. It was made using local sandstone and Scottish granite. In 1974, it was made redundant due to the reorganisation of local government. However, it bounced back in 2001 as the Wirral Museum, retaining the highly decorated interior. It holds interesting information on the Mersey tunnels, World War II experiences, ships and submarines built at Cammell Lairds, John Laird, Mallory and Irvine (the latter was born in Birkenhead), history and geology of Wirral. I particularly like the large model of Woodside as it was in 1934. See http://www.wirral.gov.uk/ed/wirral_museum.htm

Birkenhead: Wirral Museum
Situated on the south-east side of Hamilton Square, the structure was built as Birkenhead Town Hall and completed in 1887. The re-organization of local government in 1974 meant that it lost its town hall status, but it has subsequently been refurbished as the Wirral Museum. The clock tower is a prominent landmark. Mortimer Street is to the left of the building.
