Places to see in ( New Brighton - UK )
New Brighton is a seaside resort forming part of the town of Wallasey within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in Merseyside, England. At the north-eastern tip of the Wirral peninsula, it has sandy beaches which line the Irish Sea, and the UK's longest promenade at slightly over 2 mi (3.2 km).
During the latter half of the 19th century, New Brighton developed as a very popular seaside resort serving Liverpool and the Lancashire industrial towns, and many of the large houses were converted to inexpensive hotels. A pier was opened in the 1860s, and the promenade from Seacombe to New Brighton was completed by 1901. This served both as a recreational amenity in its own right, and to link up the developments along the estuary, and was later extended westwards towards Leasowe, making it the longest in the UK.
The New Brighton Tower, the tallest in the country, was opened in 1900 but closed in 1919, largely due to lack of maintenance during World War I. Dismantling of the tower was complete by 1921. New Brighton's former open-air swimming pool, of Art Deco architecture, was opened on 13 June 1934 by Viscount Leverhulme.
New Brighton is situated at the north-eastern corner and the most northerly point of the Wirral Peninsula, and at the western side of the mouth of the River Mersey. Liverpool Bay of the Irish Sea is to the north. New Brighton lies on quite a steep hillside; the marine lake and lighthouse are at sea level while, less than 600 m (660 yd) away, St Peter and St Paul's Church sits on a promontory at 48 m (157 ft) above sea level. The 6.4 km (4 mi)-long North Wirral Coastal Park is situated between New Brighton and Meols.
Fort Perch Rock is a coastal defence battery built between 1825 and 1829, with the foundation stone being laid in 1826. New Brighton Lighthouse was originally known as Perch Rock Lighthouse. Construction of the present structure began in 1827 though a light had been maintained on the rock since 1683.
New Brighton has two recognisable churches dominating the skyline and visible from the River Mersey. On Victoria Road, the Anglican St James Church by Sir George Gilbert Scott notable for its thin broach spire and a polygonal apse. It now incorporates the New Brighton Visitors Centre. The St Peter and Paul's Roman Catholic Church is at the top of Atherton Street, completed in 1935, it is a prominent Grade II listed building in the Roman Gesu style, featuring a large dome on a drum. Nicknamed the Dome from Home by returning sailors, the church was closed in 2008, and subsequently reopened in 2011.
The Black Pearl Pirate Ship is a community art installation situated on the beach near Tower Grounds . A replica of a three masted pirate man-of-war, it is almost entirely constructed from salvaged materials and driftwood found on the beach. Unusually for an artwork it is the focus for many other activities, mainly as a children's play structure, but also as a mock up vessel for RNLI exercises, wedding ceremonies and as a popular subject for photography.
The main road through New Brighton is the A554. This road starts in Bidston, passing beneath the M53 motorway at Junction 1, heading towards the coast and then around it to Birkenhead. The B5143 joins New Brighton with Liscard. New Brighton railway station is located on the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail network. The station has a return service to Liverpool every 15 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytime, and a half-hourly service at other times.

NEW BRIGHTON - STORM SEQUEL
The gales and high seas certainly gave New Brighton a battering. Inevitably, damage was done. One casualty was the north bridge to the floating landing-stage. It collapsed under the strain.

Bring Back the New Brighton Tower #bringbacknewbrightontower #newbrightontower
This short video is from the introduction of longer film entitled 'New Brighton Then & Now. (a short nostalgic film made by Riverside Primary School in Seacombe, that explores the history of New Brighton from Victorian times to the modern day era)
It was made to look like a news reel style promo for the New Brighton resort. I've uploaded it as a seperate video in order to help spread the message; that the tower should still be standing today, what a shame it isn't AND bring it back!
I recently read about investment plans for Wirral regeneration to the sum of £1 billion. So please make it happen. Can you imagine how amazing it would have been to see the tower up close and from a far (both from the Wirral and Liverpool side of Merseyside) not to mention the view from the top! Let's hope the dream can return.
