Birkenhead’s Architectural Styles

Birkenhead is an eclectic mix of many different architectural styles and building materials from Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian periods moving toward Art Deco of 1930’s and the Brutalism of 1960’s, and the subsequent Contemporary Style of the 1980’s which continues to the present day.

However, these architectural styles are found in distinct zones, so they each form a distinct feature of their location.

Thus, it is possible to produce a Design Guide for each area in order help guide future planning and architectural design so as to avoid visual clashes which undermine the area’s character.
