Brighton Wirral

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this hand coloured photograph of New Brighton Tower, taken in the early 1900s. Located on the Wirral Peninsula in England, New Brighton was once a popular Victorian and Edwardian seaside resort, attracting visitors from near and far with its beautiful sandy beaches, amusement parks, and grand architectural structures. The New Brighton Tower, a prominent feature of the town's skyline, is shown in all its glory in this vintage image. The tower, which stood at an impressive height of 120 feet, was originally built as a water tower in 1897 but was later converted into a pleasure tower in 1902. Visitors could pay a small fee to ascend the tower and enjoy panoramic views of the Irish Sea and the surrounding coastline. The hand coloured technique used in this photograph adds an extra layer of charm and authenticity to the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The intricate details of the tower's ornate design, the vibrant colours of the boats in the harbour, and the bustling activity of the beachgoers all come to life in this stunning photograph. This photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a treasure trove of historical images that offer a unique insight into the past. Whether you're an avid collector of vintage photographs, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this photograph is sure to be a welcome addition to your collection.
