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.

New Brighton Storm
Stormy weather causes damage to the pirate ship the Black Pearl. Large waves crash against New Brighton prom.I was trapped against someones front door while it got higherUnfortunately it was far to windy to get any aerial footage, sorry :(
This is my favourite place to fly, Its just up the road and I have done so many videos here, but today it was smashed by a large storm. This is not my usual video BUT this will show you why I have not been doing a lot of flying videos lately. some of the cars where floating in the sea.
The wind is incredible and blows you off youre feet. I have had sleepless nights waiting for the shed roof to blow off and all my quadcopters fly away.
Heres a video I done here when I first got the phantom: ...This is a video I shot today of the new airbus A380 which was the star attraction of the Wirral show. This plane is huge and has great maneuverability for its size.
Apparently the pilot was getting some practice in for the Farnborough air show.
Video was shot at the New Brighton sea front, Wirral, UK.
Thanks for watching.

New Brighton Rock - NOV 2012
From the age of 2 til about 6 years old, I played about and around this rock. Liverpool was always my view and then if I could see it- for all the ships that were in and outward bound, passing each other and continually obscuring the view of the othe Mersey bank - Liverpool. Those visions caused me to go to sea and travel the world. Now I'm back and near my rock, which in German may be called Ein stein !! This vid is also for Merseyside ex-pats to watch and reminisce. It has no action but Nature!

Oil Painting Demo - The Black Pearl Driftwood Pirate Ship at New Brighton
Discover more at my website:
Here's my first attempt at creating a painting demo! This oil painting depicts the pirate ship which rests on the beach at New Brighton on the Wirral peninsula, in England.
This 'ship' is really an art installation created by volunteers from driftwood and whatever the River Mersey's tide carries onto the beach. My painting shows the first incarnation of this ship, which has been rebuilt since and continues to evolve as more gets added to it.
I hope you enjoy the video. Please leave your comment below, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
