Liscard Hall (c1830) off Liscard Road in Central Park, south of the 19th century village core. This classical style mansion set in an urban park was built by Sir John Tobin and is now disused (listed Grade II). Image courtesy of Liverpool Record Office. 
Liscard Castle once stood in the area of the modern cemetery adjacent to Seaview Road. 
Liscard Battery (1858) was a grass-covered earthen bank to the river and stone structure to the land, which allowed guns to be trained on ships coming into port. It was never used in anger. The grand gateway remains at the end of Magazine Brow, with modern housing behind it. Photograph © Sue Adair Back to the top | Back up to North Wirral | Back up to Merseyside |
