Birkenhead Market was first opened 10 July in 1835. The market was an essential part of the town’s early commercial development, supporting local trade and providing a bustling hub for merchants. Initially set up near Hamilton Square, the market was built on land donated by Francis Price to accommodate the town’s growing population.
Birkenhead Park, the world’s first publicly funded park, opened nearby in 1847, bringing more visitors and enhancing the market’s popularity due to increased footfall from park visitors.
The market was expanded and relocated to a more modern site, closer to Hamilton Square, reflecting the growth of Birkenhead as an industrial and commercial center.
