New Brighton FC, was the second attempt to host a League club from the Wirral resort, New Brighton Tower FC having floundered 20 years earlier. In 1923 the club was elected to one of the vacancies arising when Division Three (North) was extended to 22 clubs.  In 1925 New Brighton achieved their best ever position, finishing third in Division Three (North) but never finished higher than tenth after that and had to seek re-election four times. In 1951 they failed re-election and were replaced by Workington FC. The club returned to the Lancashire Combination until 1965 when they moved to the Cheshire County League. In 1983 they were wound up.
