About

Tranmere occupies a central position on the Wirral's eastern side, bordering Birkenhead. The area is predominantly residential, characterised by terraced housing and local shopping parades along major roads like Borough Road. Its landscape is marked by steep slopes leading down towards the River Mersey, offering elevated views across the water to the Liverpool skyline.

A prominent local landmark is the former Bidston Dock, a large, now-silent dock basin that speaks to the area's industrial past. Much of the riverside is dominated by the sprawling Cammell Laird shipyard, a major employer. The Tranmere Rovers football ground, Prenton Park, sits near the residential heart of the area.
