The categories used for the photos reflect aspects of Birkenhead that people love and value. These were explored with the community through the process of developing the Birkenhead Neighbourhood Plan.
Community Spirit
Our special community spirit in action
“Birkenhead has an enormously strong sense of place and active community engagement – it is where we live, work, shop, play, and just spend time together“
Faces of Birkenhead
Faces and portraits of people in our community
“There are so many interesting people in our neighbourhood. Friends and family as well as celebrity faces and others that we see in our village shops. They all tell the story of our place.”
Bush and Birdlife
Green spaces, trees, and the birds of our neighbourhood
“Birkenhead has a special and unique bush environment and attracts an abundant variety of land and water birds”
Coastal Environment
Our coastline and the views of and from its beaches and bays
“Birkenhead is a slice of paradise with sunlit beaches, bays, coastal parks, and expansive views“
Built Environment
