| 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. | 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. |

| However, these architectural styles are found in distinct zones, so they form a distinct feature of each location. | |
| |
| Thus, it is possible to produce a Design Guide for those buildings in order to enhance the each location, and help guide future planning and architectural design for those distinct areas, and avoid creating visual clashes which undermine the predominant street scene. | |
