St. Mary's Church and Tower was built in 1822 alongside the old Birkenhead Priory, to serve a small parish of less than 800 people.
The tower contains a spiral staircase that leads to a viewing platform, commanding excellent views.
The tower is also a memorial to those who served on the submarine HMS Thetis, lost during sea trials in Liverpool Bay on 1st June 1939. 99 out of 103 were lost.
I was just passing this place, and thought it an ideal site to test drive the new lens that I bought from Scrappy. Thank you sir, its an outstanding improvement on the stock Canon 18-55.
I wasn't sure if this classed as high stuff, or industrial, or a reccé for those interested in the activities on the waterside!
A couple of panoramas. Apologies for the second one, I've not used Autopano for a while and this new version is far more complex than the last!
