A few more ancient buildings on the Wirral.
Willaston Windmill, 80 feet high was built in 1805 and has been converted into a house (in 1958) after becoming disused following storm damage in 1930. It was the largest of the Willaston windmills.
The Hadlow Road Railway Station closed to passengers in 1956, and closed altogether in 1962. The track was converted into a footpath, the Wirral Way, and the station turned into a museum and visitor centre. My husband took this one with a 3mp camera (yes that is me striding ahead)
The pretty cottage is Bishop Wilson's Cottage, Burton, the birthplace in 1663 of Thomas Wilson who became Bishop of the Isle of Man. He was also a Physician, and founded a school in Burton in 1724, which still exists.
