Opis
Opis
The Wirral Peninsula has a fascinating history. Before the development of the docks along the Mersey Estuary to the north, the area was a rural patchwork of communities and villages. The nineteenth century saw the growth of towns on Wirral such as Birkenhead, Wallasey, and Ellesmere Port. Industrial growth also led to the building of William Lever’s remarkable Port Sunlight garden village. As Wirral became more connected to Liverpool through rail and road, new suburbs developed, although the west area remained mostly rural, and today Wirral is still an area of contrasts.
In Quirky Wirral author Ken Pye delves into lesser-known but fascinating tales from Wirral’s past. Readers will discover tales about the many tunnels and caves under the Peninsula; Wirral’s lighthouses; the origins of the Cheshire Cat; zoos, the escaped tigers and the tightrope walker Blondin at Eastham pleasure garden; the Black Rock mermaid; New Brighton Tower and Waxworks Chamber of Horrors; smugglers and the Wallasey Wreckers, led by Mother Redcap; the Holy Grail buried at Bidston, and much, much more.
Quirky Wirral celebrates the unusual and often strange history of Wirral and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into the Wirral will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the area’s quirky history.
