The Northern England / Merseyside region


East Float is situated near the historic town of Birkenhead with its two key historical focal points - Hamilton Square, one of the finest Georgian squares in the country and the world famous Birkenhead Park, which was the inspiration for New York’s Central Park. Being next to the River you will see ships from all over the world come in and out of the Docks, some so large as they pass through the raised Tower Road Bridge that you will never cease to wonder how they do it. East Float Quay is a short walk away to the world famous Mersey Ferries and just across the River Mersey lies Liverpool with its theatres, museums, galleries, shops, cafes, restaurants, Cathedrals, amazing live music scene and clubs to name a few. If you look through the apartment windows you will see the Liver Birds, the Pier Head, the Albert Dock and the Anglican Cathedral, which is the fifth largest building on the planet.
The Wirral peninsula is host to many beautiful parks, gardens, sandy beaches, stunning sunsets, picturesque villages and over 30 golf courses. Wirral’s history can be traced as far back to the Stone age when Vikings and Roman’s roamed the land.
Historical Facts
•In 1851-60 the Great Float opens, formed by closing Wallasey Pool and using Egerton Dock as an entrance. It was planned as a link to other docks but became a dock in its own right, which was split into East and West Float Quays.
•Throughout the 1850s East Float Quay was used as a departure point for emigrants on ships bound for Australia.
•In 1866 the Alfred Dock was built to bring in grain to East Float Mill.
•In 1879 the world’s first submarine Resurgam II was launched, which had the capacity to stay underwater for four hours.
•In 1893 when a further four mills were built in Birkenhead Merseyside became the biggest flour milling centre in Europe.
•In 2001 the release of film The 51st State starring Samuel L. Jackson, Meat Loaf, Robert Carlyle and Ricky Tomlinson, saw East Float Quay play a starring role in the warehouse party scene.
•In 2006 East Float Quay won a prestigious Regeneration Award.
Today East Float is a regenerated Victorian Grade II listed warehouse containing luxury Dockside apartments.
