shares priced at £100 each. These plans swiftly materialised; construction of a wooden pier commenced the following year and soon after, the first ‘New
Brighton Hotel’ on what is now Victoria Road was completed. In the prospectus, Atherton and Rowson articulated their plans to erect ‘a Church, Market place, Shops and Buildings that will include a Reading Room, Baths, Billiard room, Post Office, etc.,’ assuring potential investors that ‘nothing will be left undone to make it a most attractive and fashionable Watering Place’. Within a few short years, the founders had largely realised their vision. As Granville confirmed during his visit to New Brighton in 1840, ‘The colony, new as it is, enjoys already all the luxuries of an old settlement. It has its pump-house, its billiard and its news room, with livery-stables, and other conveniences,’ including bathing machines, neatly arranged on ‘the delightful sands’, and stretching for five miles. Granville concluded that ‘New Brighton, in fine, is a curious and extraordinary settlement of its kind, worthy of being visited, and I doubt not answering, in the summer, every purpose for which it was intended.’ He further noted that it was ‘the sea-bathing rendezvous,

Miller explained in his social history of New Brighton, although ‘…no basic platform existed from which to launch the resort…There was a plan, a pre-conceived and elaborate master-plan, based upon a purposeful and coherent programme which focussed its attention upon the area’s obvious natural advantages…’
298:. In 1830, Atherton and his son-in-law William Rowson negotiated with John Penkett, Lord of the Manor of Liscard, to acquire a substantial section of land, and on 24 January 1832, Rowson advanced a £200 deposit to Penkett for the ‘New Brighton Estate’. The total price paid for the 170-acre land, was £27,289. 8s. 0d. (£24,000, plus interest, paid in instalments over five years). Atherton and Rowson sold plots of land at prices ranging from 7s. 6d. to 10s. per yard, making a substantial profit.
237:. During this period, and prior to the realisation of his ambitions across the River Mersey, his contemporary, the historian Robert Syers, provided a rare insight into the impression Atherton made on his peers: 'Moulded in a symmetrical frame, possessing a prepossessing person, of good or rather commanding address, of an apparently hale constitution, and gifted with a strong, intelligent mind, it may be assumed, nay, it must be granted, that Mr Atherton’s capabilities are of no common cast…’

Syers had presciently observed of him that 'The united and congregated exertions of a score of such men could, at any time, convert an insignificant village into a town of consequence and renown...', concluding that 'Mr Atherton is not only a man of ten thousand, but of a million’.
