Birkenhead, Port city in Wirral, England.
Birkenhead occupies the western bank of the River Mersey, opposite Liverpool, featuring an extensive dock system spanning 10 kilometers of quay facilities.
William Laird established boiler works and a shipyard on Wallasey Pool in 1824, transforming Birkenhead from a small hamlet into a major industrial center.
The Williamson Art Gallery houses local artworks and historical artifacts, while Future Yard serves as a contemporary 280-capacity performance venue.
The town connects to Liverpool through regular ferry services across the Mersey, an underground railway tunnel, and the vehicular Mersey Tunnel.
Birkenhead Park, opened in 1847, established the blueprint for publicly funded parks and influenced the design of Central Park in New York.
