The photographs over the early days of New Brighton in the 1860s through to the Tower, the then largest structure in the country, opening in 1900; its resurgence in the 1930s with the open-air baths, the larges in Europe, the promenade extension to Harrison Drive and linking in with the new Mersey Road Tunnel; the was continued popularity after the Second World War, when there were over 160 registered hotels and bed & breakfast accommodation and even up to 1960 when the crowds were still attracted to what New Brighton could offer. Wallasey Village, Liscard and Moreton all changed from rural farming villages with thatched cottages and beer houses, into thriving, modern communities with town centres to match, following post Second World War residential development.
