Search the Public Notice PortalBIRKENHEAD Market’s new look has been revealed ahead of its long awaited move. The historic Wirral market is set to relocate to inside the Pyramids Shopping Centre in February.
Dating back to the 1830s, Birkenhead Market has been a staple in the Wirral town for generations. After a period of uncertainty over its future, it was agreed the former TJ Hughes site in the Pyramids will become the new home of the market.
Once the current market hall is vacated, it will be demolished with the land seen as being prime for regeneration.
Ahead of the move, an application for advertisement consent for the new signage on the outside of the market has been submitted. Plans offer a sneak peek as to how the outside of the new market could look. Dark forest green signs with white lettering read “BIRKENHEAD MARKET EST. 1835”.
Currently work is being carried out within the building to ensure it is fit for purpose while traders continue to operate in the current market site to avoid disruption close to the Christmas period.
Alongside the physical transformation of the former TJ Hughes site, discussions with traders are continuing to help shape the market to maximise footfall, support trade, and provide a welcoming environment for customers.
It is hoped the relocation will be a win-win, giving a much-needed boost to the market and the wider town, both of which have seen more prosperous days.
Leader of Wirral Council, Cllr Paula Basnett, said: “The relocation of Birkenhead Market is an important milestone in the council’s wider plans to support the ongoing regeneration of the town centre.
“The market has been at the heart of the town for generations and we are continuing to work closely with traders to help ensure its next chapter is a successful one. There is still work to do ahead of the move, but this gives an insight into how preparations are progressing and we will continue to keep traders, residents and visitors updated as plans develop."
