Cross Street, Port Sunlight
Part of a row of "cottages", of several hundred built by the philanthropic industrialist Lord Leverhulme. There are lots of different styles of housing, built to accommodate the workforce at the Port Sunlight factory. About 30 architects designed the houses, including Lutyens, and the chief was James Lomax-Simpson, who believed the cottage was the ideal home.

Hulme Hall
Built between 1901-02 and named after William Lever's wife Elizabeth Ellen Hulme, Hulme Hall was originally used as the Girl's Dining Hall, seating 1,500 girls at any one time. It is now used as a conference, banqueting and wedding centre. It was here, on Saturday 18 August 1962, that Ringo Starr made his first official appearance as drummer in The Beatles (http://magicalbeatletours.com/tour_wirral.htm A Beatle Tour To Wirral).

Hulme Hall
This building dates from 1901 and was originally a dining hall for female employees of Lever Brothers. Later it became a venue for dances and has a claim to fame: Ringo Starr made his debut as drummer for the Beatles here (a plaque commemorates this fact). In this view a craft fair was taking place (advertised by the orange sign) and Santa appears to be paying a visit.
