An Asda store where thousands of people now shop has an interesting history many people won’t know about.
The Asda superstore on Seaview Road in Liscard is one of the most popular branches on the Wirral peninsula. But long before it became home to the supermarket, a tram depot stood in the same spot.
Wallasey Corporation Tramways operated an electric tramway service in Wallasey between 1902 and 1933, which electrified and expanded the existing horse tram system. The first electric trams ran on March 17 1902 from Seacombe Ferry to New Brighton Ferry via Wheatland.
