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.

19-34 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 west side, pictured here, was built in 1839-44. Grade I listed.

Argyle Street
Looking towards Hamilton Square.
This was originally the centre of the commercial/retail heart of Birkenhead - the renowned Birkenhead Market was a couple of blocks to the right, but the retail centre gradually migrated to the south west with the development of Grange Road and latterly the Grange Centre.
