New Brighton on the Wirral next to
the Port of Liverpool Uk.
It features pictures of New Brighton, both today and in its hey day.
When New Brighton was the No: 1 holiday resort in the North West
of England.
New Brighton was the premier holiday resort in the 50's and 60's.
Fort Perch Rock was built in 1830 (last used in 1954 by the Army)
along with the New Brighton Lighthouse to protect and guide ships
through Liverpool Bay.
The New Brighton Pier went in the 80's. I remember as child the
New Brighton Tower, sadly destroyed by fire in 1969.
The open air swimming pool was demolished in 1990 which was a
great shame as it was the place to be on hot summer days.
The funfair is still there today.
New Brighton Tower which in it's day housed a magnificent ballroom,
and a large circus built theatre style.early sixties when the ballroom
was the venue for many gigs by the new generation groups
such as,
The Beatles, Gerry and Pacemakers, Cilla, Jerry Lea Lewis
- the list is
endless.
