Benches of New Brighton

Spotting an array of benches in the Wirral seaside resort.

We spotted a lot of different benches while visiting New Brighton at the weekend. I'm sure our friends at the Park Bench Appreciation Society and Dull Men's Club will have a passing and/or mild interest in them.

One of the first benches we saw was this example on King's Parade. It faces the sea. However, the view behind it is better as there's a 36-hole Adventure Golf course, Art Deco kiosk and Brutalist block of flats to look at

There are benches all around the sewerage building on the front

This intriguing bench was on the Magazines Promenade

The benches put in by the Wirral Older Peoples Parliament fit perfectly in the space on the sea wall. As do the litter bins
