Robert William Hudson built a house called Bidston Court on Vyner Road South near Bidston Hill in 1891.
Built entirely of wood, and based on Little Moreton Hall, it is believed to have been the inspiration for the Cecilienhof in Potsdam.
The house was sold in 1921 to Sir Ernest Royden and in 1928 was moved to its present site in Frankby, brick by brick, finally being completed in 1931.
It was renamed Hill Bark.
The original site of the house was given to Birkenhead Corporation.
