Oxton is
a suburb in the Wirral situated to the west of Birkenhead
town centre. Originally a village, it became part of the
municipal borough of Birkenhead upon its creation in 1877. It
now forms an electoral ward with a population of approximately
19,500. It was once one of the richest areas in England mainly
due to its proximity to Liverpool.
Oxton Village is an early Victorian
era settlement with fine sandstone and brick built houses, many
of which now form part of a Conservation Area administered by
Wirral Council, some of them designated by the Department of
Natural Heritage as Grade II listed
The Royal Mail no longer recognises
Oxton, after
re-defining Oxton's
CH43 postal area in 2003 as being within Prenton (which is in
fact a geographically separate suburb of Birkenhead). This move
has caused widespread confusion and much indignation among local
residents.
