Birkenhead – One of the Poorest Towns in England

How much do you know about Birkenhead? Either little or much, did you know that Birkenhead is one of the poorest towns in England? What does the fact really show? That’s the purpose of this video. Birkenhead is a town and ferry port in England located in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, Merseyside. This town may or may not be popular with many of our audience, depending on what they are searching for. If you want to know more about Birkenhead, it has been featured in one of our videos profiling towns in England. We’ve discussed other towns and cities considered to be listed among the poorest. For now, it is the turn of Birkenhead. Let us focus on it.
The Town’s Official Position
It’s quite commendable that the officials of the town aren’t denying the obvious—that their town is one of the poorest. They’re unlike other politicians who selectively employ statistics to highlight projects whose effects aren’t being felt by the people—just to score political points. For instance, Mick Whitley, Birkenhead’s member of Parliament once admitted, “Birkenhead is one of the most deprived towns in the country” adding that the town has two of the poorest wards. He also said: “Our unemployment levels and our claimant count are above average.”
Also, Councilor Pat Cleary, one of the three ward councilors for the town and Tranmere cited a shift in the societal order at Birkenhead, at Wirral Council that “shocked the political elite.” He blamed this sordid situation on a combination of factors such as underfunding, bad town planning, and wider trends around shopping habits. He also decried the city’s lack of a mass transit system as denying the people the opportunity of getting around without a car.
Councilor Steve Hayes is another councilor whose words are weighty when it comes to Birkenhead’s situation. He was taken to the town at age two and he surely knows his onions when he speaks about the town. He described the town as one without a Local Plan for many years while citing a few abandoned projects. One of the reasons he gave for the poor state of the town is that the huge investments made for the town have been allowed to go downhill progressively. He also lamented a lack of funding.
Birkenhead in the Past
Birkenhead used to be the beating industrial heart of Wirral. For hundreds of years, the ferries across the Mersey were a common feature of the town. They aided to build a bridge to trading in Liverpool since the 14th century. The first underground railroad in the world which was built in 1886 also aided huge growth along the east coast of the peninsula. That is why Birkenhead became part of the “New York of Europe.”
The development was sustained till the next century. In fact, in the 1960s, this boom ensured that the unemployment levels in Wirral were as low as 2.5 percent.
A Change in Fortune
In the last few decades of the 20th century, fortune started to move on toward the negatives. Those decades of decline and neglect brought untold hardship and difficulty to the people. Its heritage and identity started disappearing and were eventually lost in the face of unemployment and stagnation. It got so bad that the unemployment rate in Birkenhead reached 35 percent in 1993. It was even worse among men as 52 percent of them had no job. Up till now, you would see rows of empty shops there. Honestly, everything is wrong with Birkenhead as one of the poorest towns in England. We do not have to gaze about to see.

Birkenhead Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Merseyside, and directly opposite Liverpool on the other side of the Mersey Estuary in the Wirral Peninsula, is the town of Birkenhead.

Around 1150 AD the Benedictine Priory was established in Birkenhead. The monks would charge a small fare to row passengers across the river to Liverpool. In 1318 ferry rights were granted to the monks by Edward II. In 1330 his son and successor, Edward III, granted the priory a royal charter, giving it further rights. At the time Birkenhead was just a tiny hamlet and Liverpool was a small village.

By 1801 Birkenhead was still a tiny settlement with a population of just 110. In 1817 a steam ferry service to Liverpool started, followed by a paddle steamer in 1822. Before long Birkenhead transformed into an industrial town. An iron works was established in 1824 by William Laird. In 1828 Laird went into business with his son, John, which was to be the beginning of a thriving ship-building industry. A statue of John Laird is seen on Hamilton Square, which itself is a fine example of late Georgian architecture of the 1820s.

In 1886 the Mersey Railway Tunnel was built. This provided Birkenhead with a direct train link to Liverpool. In that same year, Birkenhead Central Station and Hamilton Square Station opened. A year later, in 1887, Birkenhead Town Hall opposite Hamilton Square was completed.

In 1934 the Queensway tunnel opened, linking Birkenhead to Liverpool via road. Construction took nine years, and the tunnel was officially opened by King George V to a crowd of over 200,000. At the time it was known as the eighth wonder of the world. Decades later, in 1971, a second tunnel, the Kingsway tunnel, was opened to relieve congestion. This tunnel runs from the neighbouring town of Wallasey just to the north, into Liverpool. To put it another way, the Queensway tunnel was opened by the king and the Kingsway tunnel was opened by the queen!

Birkenhead is represented in sport by Tranmere Rovers Football Club. Founded in 1884, they play their home games at Prenton Park in the suburb of Tranmere, south of the town centre.

Famous people from Birkenhead include Patricia Routledge, Paul O'Grady and Jason McAteer.

2006-06 Birkenhead och Chester, England

Birkenhead and Chester June 2006, in connection with us going on a rented canal boat in the Midlands. Birkenhead was Europe's largest port at the time people emigrated to America. Many nice folding bridges. Today, museum trams run to and from the ferry a cross the Mercey (60s) with double deckers. The Transport museum is also worth a visit.
