 ====== Birkenhead Heritage Historic Home Guide ======
-====== What this Guide does for you ======
+===== Introduction ====
-===== Introduction to these Heritage Advice pages =====
+The purpose of these pages is to give guidance to owners, property managers and other professionals who are concerned with the external redecoration and maintenance of property within the Birkenhead Heritage conservation area.
-Birkenhead is an eclectic mix of many different architectural styles and building materials from Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian periods moving toward Art Deco of 1930’s and the Brutalism of 1960’s, and the subsequent Contemporary Style of the 1980’s which continues to the present day.
-However, these architectural styles are found in distinct zones, so they form a distinct feature of each location.

 {{  :exterior_view_of_no_40_hamilton_square.jpg?200|exterior_view_of_no_40_hamilton_square.jpg}}This Design Guide concentrates on Birkenhead’s distinctive Georgian Quarter (around Hamilton Square). This builds on existing advice from Edinburgh’s Conservation Advice, as the characteristics of conservation choices are similar, and we are indebted to their research and recommendations.
