Oldest Sugar Worker’s Cottage (44 Rawene Road)

Once, sugar workers’ cottages ran straight up the hillside toward Huka Road. When the worker village was disbanded in 1905, several of the homes were moved elsewhere, such as along Rawene Road. Number 44 is the oldest and least modified cottage left in Birkenhead. Other early workers cottages can be found at 30, 51, and 55.

Continue south along Rawene Road to the end and then take the George Giles Walkway to Chelsea Beach.
