Distance
1
Esplanade, New Ferry, Wirral
This was taken at low tide as evidenced by the trolley in the foreground. The mound in the distance is reclaimed land which is now being used as a rubbish tip. Despite all this, it is a great place to visit and the views are excellent.

Pier at New Ferry, Wirral
I think they'll take this pier down soon, for safety reasons. I don't think it's used anymore. The background is Liverpool (Garden Festival site).

Pivot benchmark by #9 Rock Park Road, Birkenhead
Pivot benchmark on the low boundary wall to #9 Rock Park Road. The mark is a genuine Ordnance Survey mark, which is recorded on the O.S. legacy s/sheet, but I can't find it on any maps I've seen. It is at the top of a curved footpath down to Esplanade, and there is another benchmark at the bottom of the path, which does seem to make sense. The curved path is now overgrown and full of rubbish behind a locked gate at the Esplanade. For a wider view see Image

12-13 Rock Park, Birkenhead
Two of the comfortable riverside villas built by the Royal Rock Ferry Company in the 1840s, laid out by Jonathan Bennison. Much of the estate, including a hotel, lodges and gates, went when a dual carriageway was put through in the early 1970s. Grade II listed.

The gated footpath on the left links Esplanade with Rock Park Road above, however, the gate is locked and there is a pile of rubbish of all sorts behind the gate. There is an Ordnance Survey bench mark on the sandstone wall below the modern brickwork - Image
