Tower Road rolling lift bridge carries the busy A554, linking Birkenhead with Wallasey on the Wirral. It forms the main route into the docks and the nearby ferry terminal. The new bridge replaced an ageing Scherzer rolling bridge built in 1933. The 33.7m moving span is lifted by two hydraulic cylinders which are assisted by a 482 tonne counterweight system. It was opened in 2018.

Redundant railway and ship at Birkenhead Docks. It is some time since the wagon turntable saw use whilst the RMS St Helena only came out of service in 2018 as the passenger and supply ship serving the remote island of the same name. It subsequently served for a shore period as a floating armoury in the Gulf of Oman. The ship is said to now be under conversion to a mobile hub for the race events of the Extreme E electric SUV racing series.

Pier Hotel, Birkenhead

The Pier Hotel was built about 1860 and later a single storey extension was added to which the Birkenhead Brewery Company built this green terracotta frontage with a wonderful brewery emblem. Subsequently this section of the building has had three floors added in an incongruous style. Meanwhile the pub has stood empty for several years.
