Market Street
Just one street away from Hamilton square the architecture is no longer grandiose, no longer standardised; simply as built by the developers to make money quickly from their investment.

35-50 Hamilton Square, Birkenhead
This remarkably grand and complete Georgian composition is like an alien intrusion into the cityscape. Take one step outside in pretty much any direction and one is brought down to earth with a bump. The rest of William Laird's scheme never got off the ground. The square was laid out by James Gillespie Graham and construction took almost twenty years. The south side, pictured here, was built in 1839-44. Grade I listed.

42-44 Hamilton Street, Birkenhead
Quite dignified but horribly served by the ground floor alterations. Built by William Cole for himself, 1835. Grade II listed.
At the time home to the Wirral Methodist Housing Association.
A blue plaque records that Henry Tate (of Tate & Lyle fame) "traded here 1851-1861".

Probably c1840. The rounded corners and parapet lift it up a notch or two.
Shops at the time were Birkenhead Computer Repairs and Argyle News.

Market Street, Birkenhead
This was transformed some years ago from one of Birkenhead's most run down streets to one which is attractive and bustling. As the name suggests, the road originally led to the old market which was fire damaged in 1969 and 1974, see http://www.birkenheadmarket.co.uk/index.asp?page=3
However, the first market was actually in the space where the Wirral Museum (old town hall) is.

Hamilton Street
Looking towards Hamilton Square. The grandiose architecture of the square does not continue into the neighbouring streets, despite the hopes of the early promoters.
