Wallasey, The Village 1895
Photo ref:

More about this scene
This is a lovely rural photograph taken in the old village of Wallasey. Wallasey has developed slowly, and even today there are still some of the older buildings dotted around in what still is considered by the locals as the village. Wirral was colonised by the Norsemen long ago, and many names reflect those invaders who settled here. From Old Wallasey (meaning 'the low land where the Welsh live') you can see over the Wirral to the Dee and Wales and the Irish Sea beyond. Workmen posing for the camera and an older sister taking her younger family for a walk, including a baby in a bassinette, complete our photograph.
