Egremont Ferry was built in 1827 and was the longest pier on Merseyside until its dismantlement in 1946 due to a coaster having crashed into it, causing irreparable damage.

In 2016, the vessel underwent extensive repairs in Sharpness, Gloucestershire, before being laid up and subsequently offered for sale.

[3] Today three and four-bedroomed, largely working class terraced houses and semi-detached homes dominate Egremont.

Egremont's river frontage is part of the promenade which, under various names, runs as an unbroken traffic-free pedestrian route from Seacombe Ferry to New Brighton.

This building began life as a police station before the interiors and exterior panels were ripped out leaving only a brick frame and tiled roof.

This large building is reached by road from Brighton Street, or via a lengthy flight of steps from the promenade.
