“New Ferry Park is a highly desirable site, and the council sold it for housing. The garden is one of the oldest parks in Wirral, ringed by attractive housing. Together with the adjacent Village Hall, it forms the heart of the community and hosts the annual New Ferry Festival. At the end of the 19th century, the council rebuilt the park on a new site. This land comprised farmland and clay pits, which often formed small ponds. The ponds were filled in, and the park was landscaped in the late 1890s. New Ferry Park featured a garden for the blind, with highly scented flowers and Braille nameplates accompanying them.”
