Birkenhead: Area, History and Background

Riding & Sons are well aquainted with the United Kingdom, it's cities and towns.

Below is some historic, cultural and background information about the area of Birkenhead in the United Kingdom.

  • Birkenhead is a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in Merseyside, England.
  • It is on the Wirral Peninsula, along the west bank of the River Mersey, opposite the city of Liverpool.
  • At the 2001 Census, Birkenhead had a population of 83,729.
  • Historically part of Cheshire, it is perhaps best known as a centre for ship building, as a seaport and its related industries.
  • The name Birkenhead is possibly from the Old English bircen meaning birch tree, of which many once grew on the headland which jutted into the river at Woodside.
  • The earliest records state that the Mersey ferry began in 1150.
  • Birkenhead retained its agricultural status until the advent of the steam ferry service in 1820.
  • The Birkenhead Urban Area, as defined by the Office for National Statistics,includes Birkenhead, Wallasey, Bebington, Ellesmere Port, and the contiguous built-up areas which link those towns along the eastern side of the Wirral.
  • In the 2001 Census, the area so defined had a total population of 319,675, making it the 18th largest conurbation in England and 22nd in the UK.
  • Areas and suburbs of it are Bidston, Claughton, Noctorum, Oxton, Prenton, Rock Ferry, Tranmere, Woodchurch and Woodside.
  • Birkenhead Market was first established on what is now the site of Birkenhead Town Hall, between Chester Street and Hamilton Street, on 10 July 1835.
  • An increase in it's population by 1841 led to the opening on 11 July 1845 of a much expanded market on a larger site nearby.
  • During the 1970s, the commercial centre of Birkenhead was redeveloped around the principal shopping area of Grange Road.
  • Following two fires at the expanded Birkenhead Market in 1969 and 1974, it was later moved to new premises adjoining the Grange Shopping Precinct development.
  • Commercial expansion continued in the early 1990s when the Pyramids Shopping Centre was opened.
