Hamilton Square, north side
Built as residential, the square has been taken over by offices for many decades. It was developed as the heart of William Laird's new town of Birkenhead, but outside the square developers were unable or unwilling to afford the sumptuous classical style of architecture and it remains an island of classicism in otherwise mundane surroundings.

Hamilton Square, Birkenhead
Hamilton Square was designed and built in the 19th Century. Building started in the 1820s, but it took 20 years to complete. The land had been bought by William Laird, a Scottish shipbuilder who opened a shipbuilding yard in Birkenhead. The Georgian architecture is similar to that found in Edinburgh's New Town.

1-18 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 north side, pictured here, was built from c1825, the nearer houses being the earliest. Grade I listed.
