Mersey meets the sea
It didn’t take me long to return to the Wirral Peninsula after being bowled over by the seaside and estuary town of West Kirby.
On the opposite of this nub of land is the resort of New Brighton, which sits at the mouth of the mighty River Mersey and close to the great city of Liverpool. In Victorian times it was a coastal mecca with a pier, mighty tower and many visitors.
That period magnificence may have disappeared, but this area has engaging views, open seas and industrial colour, fishermen and a landmark lighthouse. It’s a northern spot well worth visiting.

It is a beautiful part of the country, that’s for sure. Love the Breakwater and Lighthouse Window shots. Lovely work, Mike! :)

It’s a beautiful part of the country. Not that dissimilar from some parts of the Essex coastline. :)

Those breakwater thingies – does it just look as if they’re shaped like seats? Looks like an auditorium, can you actually sit on them?

Well, Kiki, they’re rather tall and large for sitting but it’s possible to clamber through them – they each have a rock pool inside them which is rather nice :)

Thanks Koos! I thought this bit of industrial landscape was anything but ugly. The north keeps giving me little gems :)

They can. I am thinking more about the Dutch landscapes. I should think of visiting them before too long.
