"Birkenhead is up-and-coming, it seems crazy to me that more people don't want to live here," says Nicola Honey.
It's just gone lunch time and the co-director of virtual reality development company Scenegraph Studios is sat outside her studio in Birkenhead's Start Yard. Nicola's pet dog Pickle barks at her heels, while the 36-year-old's business partner pores over an Apple Mac inside the shipping container which they use as an office.
Nicola, from Bebington, moved into Start Yard in November 2021 after seeing the potential of the space. Within walking distance of Hamilton Square train station and a stone's throw from the Mersey, Nicola says she has noticed the area change even in the short time since she has been there.
