Today, Bidston is a residential area with a population of around 4,500 people. There are a number of shops and businesses in the village, as well as Bidston Hall, which is a grade II listed building. Bidston is also home to Bidston Observatory, which was built in 1866 and is one of the oldest working meteorological observatories in the world.
