This is New Brighton found on the northern tip of the Wirral Peninsular opposite Liverpool. It is a beautiful, but faded, Victorian seaside town. In its heyday it attracted tens of thousands of visitors to its Tower and its Ballroom and to its huge outdoor swimming pool. Alas, those days are long gone.

Thats some diverse architecture you have there, and it is beautiful. Although I have to say it does look a tad cold there, hope you were wrapped up well.

Lovely shot with nice colors and composition. There is definitely a lot to see. Such a sad story for such a lovely city.

Beautiful cityscape, but I get the feeling that the red thing on the right makes the picture look bleak. I think it helps if you cropped it.

Steve, a very nice capture of the Victorian seaside town. It may be somewhat faded but still has lots of character. The one time I was at New Brighton I was only a small boy and almost drowned in the large open air swimming pool you mention. I was lucky that my uncle spotted me in trouble. Ian
