Tucked away just a few minutes from New Brighton’s bustling waterfront is a beautiful enclave of houses dubbed Wallasey’s “hidden treasure”.
St George’s Park is made up of a stunning array of period homes which circle a gated park that belongs to the people who live there. There’s only one way in and out, rendering the area as a secluded oasis that many people don’t even know exists.
Some of the land was sold in 1922 to Wirral builder Moses Hughes, who began building new houses around the perimeter, but the central section of parkland was sold in 1926 to the Wallasey Corporation for a sum of £1,165. Whilst the park is owned by residents, it is looked after by Wirral Council, and the extent and regularity of the council’s maintenance work has been a divisive subject locally in recent years.
