The Birket

The Birket discharges into the West Float at the site of the former Wallasey Pool.

The river flows between the Borderlands railway line and the M53 motorway, between Prenton and Upton, and then alongside the M53, to Leasowe.

Arrowe Brook starts as lowland field drainage around Irby, Thingwall and Landican.

This was the first bridge constructed by the notable Victorian civil engineer Sir Thomas Brassey, in 1829.

[2] The bridge was awarded Grade II listed status by English Heritage, in 2007.
