New Ferry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Ferry is a small town located on the Wirral Peninsula, Merseyside, England. It is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.
[edit] Location
It is situated on the A41, the main road between Birkenhead and London prior to the introduction of motorways, and immediately adjacent to the village of Port Sunlight.
At the centre of the town is the Toll Bar area, a name originating from when the A41 used to be a toll road.
It is a lot quieter now than it used to be, as the A41 has been re-routed and a by-pass now takes through-traffic away from the town centre.
The Shorefields area on the banks of the River Mersey is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.
