£3m new attraction 'with the best views' given final sign off

Plans to create a new museum, café, and bar on a waterfront with ‘one of the best views in the world’ have been given the final sign off.

The current single storey museum will be demolished with a new three-storey building built in its place which has been “designed to be tall enough to be seen across the Mersey while ensuring views from the Hamilton Square approach are maintained.” Council officers when making the decision said it “would make a positive contribution to the character of the area while conserving the significance and setting" of the Woodside Ferry Terminal.

Dean Paton, Big Heritage’s CEO, previously told the ECHO: “I think by 2026, we will have an offer on Woodside that will be the envy of any town in Merseyside. A huge strong new attraction. What is going to make people drive two hours to come to Birkenhead? You are not going to drive that distance for one thing as it's not a full day out.”
