More about this scene

This busy scene was taken near Dove Point slipway, and shows the increasing attraction of the area as a sailing centre. With the building of the railway in 1866, prosperous businessmen from Birkenhead and Liverpool moved to this part of the north Wirral coast. Hotels and guest-houses were built, and the number of holiday-makers seeking pleasure in Meols and Hoylake increased significantly.
