West Kirby is a town on the north-west corner of the in , England, at the mouth of the River Dee. To the north-east lies , to the east Grange and Newton, and to the south-east . At the 2011 Census, the population was 12,733. The town is on the opposite side of the River Dee to Mostyn in North . History The name West Kirby is of Viking origin, originally Kirkjubyr, mean- ing 'village with a church'. The form with the modifier "West" exists to distin- guish it from the other town of the same name in Wirral: Kirkby-in-Walea (now the modern town of ). The earliest usage given of this form is West Kyrkeby in Wirhale in 1285. The old village lay around St. Bridget's Church, but the town today is centred on West Kirby railway station, which is about 1 km away. The town has a Victorian promenade, flanked by the West Kirby Marine Lake that permits boats to sail even at low tide. The original wall was built to create the lake in 1899 but suffered a catastrophic leak in 1985. A new lake was constructed on the site which is wider than previously and allows better sporting opportunities. The Hoylake and West Kirby War Me- morial is a notable local landmark, designed in 1922 by the British sculptor Charles Sargeant Jagger, who was responsible for a number of war memorials around the world, including the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner in London.

Civic history West Kirby was a township and parish within the Wirral Hun- dred. It became part of Hoylake West Kirby civil parish and in 1894. The population was 148 in 1801, 435 in 1851 and 4,542 in 1901. On 1 April 1974, West Kirby was absorbed into the newly created Metropolitan Borough of Wirral as part of local government reorganisation in England and Wales. At that point, West Kirby ceased to be in for administrative purposes and became part of the new administrative county of Merseyside. In February 2008 plans were raised for a regeneration of the concourse sports and leisure centre including new retail space and controver- sially a multi-storey car park. As of 2013 the project appears to have stalled with developers' interest and funding wavering. Local residents' opposition is strong.

Geography West Kirby lies at the north-western corner of the Wirral Peninsula. West Kirby is on the eastern side of the mouth of the , opposite North Wales and approximately 8 miles (13 km) west of . Hilbre Island is approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore from West Kirby, at the mouth of the Dee Estuary. Secondary schools in the area are Calday Grange Grammar School on , West Kirby Grammar School and Hilbre High School, which includes the WestWirralWorks City Learning Centre and West Kirby Residential School. Leisure West Kirby Library is within West Kirby Concourse, and operated by the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. The West Kirby Museum, founded in 1892, is adjacent to St Bridget's Church. The town itself contains Ashton Park and a starting point of the Wirral Way, which follows the trackbed of the former Railway branch line from Hooton. Sandlea Park lies in the centre of the town, a short walk from the railway station. Coronation Gardens is locat- ed between the southern end of the promenade between South Parade and Banks Road. There are various other small parks and bowling greens around the town. Another popular activity is to walk out to the islands of Little Eye, Middle Eye and Hilbre Island at low tide. The promenade, beach and the walk to the war memorial allow an excellent panoram- ic view of part of the North Wales coastline.

Sport Sailboarding, sailing and kayaking are all popular local sports. In October 1991 the World Windsurfing Speed Record was set by Dave White on the West Kirby Marine Lake at 42.16 knots. It was held for two years until it was beaten in Australia. Water sports fans are warned to wear appropriate footwear while using the marine lake because of the presence of weaver fish with sharp poisonous barbs. There is also an RNLI Lifeboat Station near West Kirby Sailing Club. The Royal Liverpool Golf Club, a links course between West Kirby and Hoylake, has hosted 11 British Open Golf championships in the past 121 years, most recently the 2006 and 2014 British Opens. West Kirby has a large man-made coastal lake, the 'Marine Lake'. The structure is large enough to hold sailing events, such as the Wilson Trophy, sail- boarding and many more water-related activities including canoeing, kayaking and power-boating. In early 2009 it was reported that the lake had undergone structural damage, most likely due to estuarine erosion. Since this report a £750K refurbishment has taken place to help restore the lake, and it is now back to holding water sport activities.
