Seacombe is a district of the
town of Wallasey, on the Wirral.
Seacombe is dominated by three
landmarks. The first of these is one of the terminals for the
Mersey Ferry, the legendary "Ferry 'cross the Mersey"
immortalised in song by Gerry and the Pacemakers. The ferry
travels in a triangular route between the
Seacombe,
Birkenhead and Liverpool terminals.
The second of these is the parish church
of St Paul. The third is a building housing some of the
ventilation systems for the Kingsway Tunnel, a colossal
structure which faces the river. It consists of two
huge grilles which resemble stereo speakers, and a central
concrete flue-like structure. This building has an almost
identical counterpart on the Liverpool side of the river.
Seacombe
was originally a terminus for the Wirral Railway however
passenger services ended in January 1960 and all services on
the line terminated in June 1963. Much of the line to
Seacombe
station was used as the approach road to the Kingsway Tunnel.
Seacombe is
also home to Spaceport, a space-themed visitor attraction
situated near the ferry terminal. Spaceport was opened on the
26th July 2005.
