Home to beautiful beaches, nature reserves and Britain’s longest promenade, the Wirral is a popular area, just across the water from Liverpool.
The peninsula has seen many historical events, include Britain’s bloodiest battle and the first gunfire in the World War 1.
Take a trip down memory lane with this gallery of retro Wirral, and see how much the beautiful area has changed over 100 years.
