More about this scene
This is a view from Bidston Hill, which was declared a place to be kept free of development when Birkenhead and the surrounding towns and villages began to grow. Until 1851 the hill was a mass of flagpoles, as signals were sent by semaphore all the way from Holyhead to Bidston. From here signals were sent by raising various flags into the port at Liverpool, so that ship owners could be made aware of their vessels' arrival.
