Wallasey: Wirral Peninsula, New Brighton, and the Mersey's Northern Shore
Wallasey sits at the northeastern tip of the Wirral Peninsula, looking across the Mersey to Liverpool. New Brighton, on the promontory, was developed as a seaside resort in the 1830s. The Tower (1900-1921) was taller than Blackpool's but was dismantled after fire damage. Fort Perch Rock, a coastal defence battery from 1829, still stands at the river mouth. The population is around 60,000. Wallasey is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.
The Mersey Railway tunnels connect Wallasey to Liverpool via Merseyrail. The Kingsway Tunnel (road) emerges at Wallasey. The promenade runs from New Brighton south past the docks to Seacombe, where the Mersey ferry operates to Liverpool Pier Head. For adult companionship, Wallasey is covered by Merseyside Police and governed by England and Wales criminal law.
