Fort Perch Rock, Marine Promenade, New Brighton, Wallasey - Wirral
Coastal fort 1826-9 with later additions, built to defend the approach to Liverpool. Used as a museum until recently but now closed. Corner towers are missing render. Stone to gateway is weathering and coat of arms rusting. Balconies to the seaward side are corroding. An overall strategy to address condition is required for the long term and a considerable amount of concern regarding the poor condition has been expressed by the local community.

In the late 1970s, the fort could be hired as a party venue. During this time Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark founder members Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys played there as members of the short lived Wirral group The Id. Since the 1990s, the fort has played host to various musical events including, in the summer of 2006, a number of rock concerts which were organised by a group of young Wallaseyans. The nights were called "Nautical" and were featured in The Guardian newspaper and named The NME club of the week for the 1 September 2006 show, which featured British Sea Power and the Tiny Dancers.

The fort featured a museum with displays including military aviation, maritime history, and the Fort Perch Rock Marine Radio Museum used to exhibit marine wireless communications devices.

A new permanent escape room concept "Escape The Fort" will open at the Fort in Spring 2022. ( I don't know it's working now or not?)
