This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.
  • Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11Th to 15Th Centuries)

    Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11Th to 15Th Centuries)

    Wirral Archives Service Workshop Medieval Wirral (11th to 15th centuries) The Norman Conquest The Norman Conquest was followed by rebellions in the north. In the summer of 1069 Norman armies laid waste to Yorkshire and Northumbria, and then crossed the Pennines into Cheshire where a rebellion had broken out in the autumn – they devastated the eastern lowlands, especially Macclesfield, and then moved on to Chester, which was ‘greatly wasted’ according to Domesday Book – the number of houses paying tax had been reduced from 487 to 282 (by 42 per cent). The Wirral too has a line of wasted manors running through the middle of the peninsula. Frequently the tax valuations for 1086 in the Domesday Book are only a fraction of that for 1066. Castles After the occupation of Chester in 1070 William built a motte and bailey castle next to the city, which was rebuilt in stone in the twelfth century and became the major royal castle in the region. The walls of Chester were reconstructed in the twelfth century. Other castles were built across Cheshire, as military strongholds and as headquarters for local administration and the management of landed estates. Many were small and temporary motte and bailey castles, while the more important were rebuilt in stone, e.g. at Halton and Frodsham [?] . The castle at Shotwick, originally on the Dee estuary, protecting a quay which was an embarkation point for Ireland and a ford across the Dee sands. Beeston castle, built on a huge crag over the plain, was built in 1220 by the earl of Chester, Ranulf de Blondeville.

  • A Timely War?

    A Timely War?

    A Timely War? by Mike Royden Ellesmere Port was suffering both socially and economically even before the outbreak of war. In the unsettling months before August 1914, the community was devastated when due to tensions in Europe and a consequent drop-off in orders, the Merseyside Iron Works was reduced to short time and most men laid off. By the time war broke out, the town seemed to be on its knees. ‘Distress inevitable at the Port’ reported the local press within days of the outbreak of hostilities; ‘The war is having a disastrous effect upon Ellesmere Port, a town which will be directly hit much harder than most centres in the country. A Local Government Board official who has visited three counties since hostilities broke out has testified to this and the prospect is nothing less than alarming. The majority of the populace are dependent upon the Ironworks, and it is idleness here that will be responsible for the distress’. Birkenhead Advertiser & Wallasey Guardian 9 September 1914 In the same week Mr Winn, publican of the Knot Hotel and Mr Wright, a pork butcher on Whitby Road, commenced giving away bread and soup to the starving children. As conditions began to get worse, an emergency meeting was called by the local council ‘for the purpose of considering how best to meet the urgencies of the situation caused through the war’. Held at the Free Trade Hall in the Port, the Chairman reported that they had about 3,000 men walking about in Ellesmere Port without work. The Council had, meanwhile, commenced work on the construction of a bowling green, on which about thirty or forty men were working.
  • Neston and the Wirral Battalion, September 7Th 1914

    Neston and the Wirral Battalion, September 7Th 1914

    10. Another week of Neston at war: Neston and the Wirral Battalion, September 7th 1914 A train pulled into Chester Station on Sunday of this week (7th September 2014) bearing a contingent of 700 men from Port Sunlight, just as it had done one hundred years ago to the day (Monday a century ago). These Lever Brothers employees (many women this time!) were en route to Chester Castle to sign up for the brand new 13th Battalion of the Cheshire Regiment, often unofficially called the Wirral Battalion. On that very same day in 1914, forty men from Neston boarded a train at Neston North Station to meet up with the Port Sunlight men in Chester, along with others who had travelled from Ellesmere Port and Wallasey to join Lord Kitchener’s new army. The so-called Wirral Battalion was the idea of Gershom Stewart, MP for Wirral, with much encouragement from Sir William H. Lever. Lists of casualties at Mons were just getting through and there had been something of a lull in the Neston recruiting rate, so a ‘Patriotic Meeting’ had been held on Saturday night (5th) in the Institute to rally volunteers for the proposed battalion, with some impressive speakers: Sir Norman Hill, an expert in shipping law who lived at Leighton House at the bottom of The Runnell, Charles Maciver, ship owner from Heswall, Henry Gladstone from Burton Manor, Sir Percy Bates of the Cunard Line from Hinderton Hall, Sir William Lever, and of course the vicar, the chairman of the council and the Birkenhead recruiting officer.

    Buildings Open to View

    6-9 September 2018 13-16 September 2018 BUILDINGS BUILDINGSOPEN TO OPENVIEW TO VIEW 0 2 Welcome to Heritage Open Days 2018 Heritage Open days celebrates our architecture and culture by allowing FREE access to interesting properties, many of which are not normally open to the public, as well as free tours, events, and other activities. It is organised by a partnership of Chester Civic Trust and Cheshire West and Chester Council, in association with other local societies. It would not be possible without the help of many building owners and local volunteers. Maps are available from Chester Visitor Information Centre and Northwich Information Centre. For the first time in the history of Heritage Open Days the event will take place nationally across two weekends in September the 6-9 and the 13-16. Our local Heritage Open Days team decided that to give everyone the opportunity to fully explore and discover the whole Cheshire West area Chester buildings would open on 6-9 September and Ellesmere Port & Mid Cheshire would open on 13-16 September. Some buildings/ events/tours were unable to do this and have opened their buildings on the other weekend so please check dates thoroughly to avoid disappointment. Events – Tours, Talks & Activities Booking is ESSENTIAL for the majority of HODs events as they have limited places. Please check booking procedures for each individual event you would like to attend. Children MUST be accompanied by adults.
