  • 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? 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
    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.

  • WAS There a Particular Social Behaviour and Manner of Life of Wirral Folk, That Distinguished Them Clearly from the People North
    AS there a particular social behaviour and manner of life of Wirral folk, that distinguished them clearly from W the people north of the Mersey or east of the Gowy ? The habits and speech of the dweller in the heart of Cheshire soon make themselves plain; the Welshman, the Yorkshireman, and the Cornishman leave no one in doubt as to their place of origin. Was the same true of the Wirral man ? Regions, like people, have a personality, that sum total of qualities which makes them a type, and sets them apart. Just as an individual's personality is the outcome of his heredity, his contacts, his social conditions, and his upbringing, so is that of a region the result of its physical nature, its nearness to or remoteness from civilisation, its accessibility, the nature of its soil and its type of climate. Thus there must have been a Wirral type, for Wirral is a region unique in many ways, both geographically and historically. And yet the typical Wirral man is hard to discover, on account of the rapid and recent industrial development of the area round Merseyside with the consequent influx of outsiders, for whom Wirral is merely a dormitory. The newcomers had their roots elsewhere and are alien to Wirral soil, but they have been transplanted in such numbers that they tend to oust the native and supplant him. The characteristics of the true native of Wirral have been submerged in the ever-growing tide of this residential invasion. Wallasey and Birkenhead of 100 years ago must have been very like Bromborough of 50 years ago, or Burton or Ince of to-day, and even the last two are already yielding to the allurements of the speculative builder.

  • Chester Heritage Festival 3
    Welcome to Telling the story of our city and its people The city is a stage from which stories can be told. Stories old and stories new; stories of Roman occupation, of Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and medieval merchants who traded from what was once a thriving west coast port: stories of Royalists, Roundheads and railway builders: stories of Suffragettes and the local impact of the First World War. Few places have such rich history and heritage, spanning 2000 years, as does Chester. This is our chance to share it with you. Our Festival this year is part of European Year of Cultural Heritage and embraces both Midsummer Watch Parades and the start of the Chester Mystery Plays. Whether you are a resident or a visitor we hope you will enjoy hearing the story of our city.
