Beautiful Birkenhead- Horses, Heritage & all that Jazz!

Come into Birkenhead Village Dress up and participate or just come in to soak up the ambiance of yesteryear over three days. On Friday 13th & Sat 14th October the Village Businesses will be dressing up to honour our unique Heritage. During the 1920's 3 buildings that still exist today were created by WH Payne and the commercial heart of the Village was born at Highbury Corner at the top of our oldest street Hinemoa- leading up from the wharf. On Saturday we will have the Clydesdale Horses and the Vintage Cars on Nell Fisher Reserve to celebrate the handover from Horse to Horse Power. Free rides, vintage jazz bands and fun for all, alongside many more Beautiful Birkenhead Heritage events. The Fredrick Morris Block (The outfit to BBC) Oborn Building (Then the WH Payne Building) Highbury Buildings (Yarntons today).
