Alternatively cyclists can follow the signs for the Wirral Circular Trail to the main Leasowe Road and turn right. This is a 40mph dual carriage-way with no specific cycle routes at present. Leasowe Castle is then on your right. Continue straight along, bearing right to the Lighthouse when the main road turns left. If you stay on the sea defence path, Leasowe Castle and then the Lighthouse are on your left. Driving: At the last roundabout on Kings Drive, turn left for the M53, then at the 2nd roundabout, take 1st left along Harrison Drive onto Wallasey Village and right at the roundabout for the A551, Leasowe Road.

Heritage Site 5 Leasowe Castle: Built by the Earls of Derby in the late 16th century, this Grade II* ‘Castle’ has been altered and enlarged over the centuries, serving among other things as a sporting lodge, a castellated mansion, an hotel, a nobleman’s residence and a railwayman’s convalescent home. Today it is once again a hotel. Leasowe Castle Heritage Site 6 Leasowe Lighthouse: The oldest brick-built lighthouse in Britain, it was erected in 1763 by the Liverpool Docks Committee.

  • 6 Merseyside
    6 Merseyside 6.1 Administrative set-up Merseyside takes its name from the River Mersey and is a metropolitan county in North West England. Merseyside came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974, after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, and the county consists of five metropolitan boroughs adjoining the Mersey Estuary, including the City of Liverpool. Merseyside encompasses about 645 km2 (249 sq miles) and has a population of around 1,350,100 (Office of National Statistics). Number of Males Females Total Area Merseyside people per (thousands) (thousands) (thousands) (hectares) hectare Knowsley 71.7 79.1 150.8 8629.3 17.48 Liverpool 212.7 222.8 435.5 11159.08 39.03 Sefton 131.3 144.9 276.2 15455.66 17.87 St Helens 86.5 91 177.5 13589.08 13.06 Wirral 147.7 162.4 310.1 15704.9 19.75 Total 649.9 700.2 1350.1 64538.02 107.19 Table 3 Demographics of Merseyside (sourced various from ONS www.statistics.gov.uk) Merseyside County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now essentially unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. Merseyside is divided into two parts by the Mersey Estuary: the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is located to the west of the estuary on the Wirral Peninsula; the rest of the county is located on the eastern side of the estuary. The eastern boroughs of Merseyside border Lancashire to the north and Greater Manchester to the east, and both parts of Merseyside, west and east of the estuary, border Cheshire to the south.

  • The Celtic, Saxon and Scandinavian Settlement at Meols in Wirral
    THE CELTIC, SAXON, AND SCANDINAVIAN SETTLEMENT AT MEOLS IN W1RRAL BY J. D. BU'LOCK, M.A., PH.D. T the present time, low tide off Hoylake exposes little more A than a great stretch of bare sands, with a shallow pool immediately offshore, but in former times this was the Hoyle Lake, or Heye Pool, and an important feature of the Wirral coast. Before the sandbanks took on their present form the Pool was a large and comparatively deep anchorage, near to the mainland, protected on the west by the rocks which run out to Hilbre Island, to the north by extensive sandbanks (fully covered only at the highest tides), and to the east, where the pool was entered, by a spit of land of which there now survives only the name, Dove Point, plausibly derived by some from the Celtic, dubh- black, from the colour of the offshore peat. From early times this anchorage was a centre for Irish Sea shipping of all kinds; seawards its contacts were by coastal routes to the north and west, and with Ireland and the Isle of Man, whilst inland the estuaries of the Dee and Mersey pro­ vided routes to the whole area between the Pennines and the Welsh Marches. Recent studies of the stone axes from this area show that such routes were used even in Neolithic times, whilst other prehistoric material from Hoylake itself displays contacts with lands from Bute to south-west Britain. The Hoyle Lake retained its importance for thousands of years; as late as the eighteenth century it was still an embarkation point for Ireland, a place where cargoes were trans-shipped for the Mersey and the Dee, and where ships anchored to await suitable conjunctions of wind and tide for their sea or river journeys (see map, Fig.

  • North Wirral Coast
    Near Dove Point on the North Shore. North Wirral Coast The North Wirral section of the Circular Trail takes you from Seacombe Ferry Terminal to West Kirby, via the rejuvenated New Brighton Resort with its Floral Pavilion, Fort Perch Rock, Lighthouse, Marine Lake and new Retail Park. The route continues along the promenade to Wallasey Beach and into North Wirral Coastal Park. The route then turns inland at The Gunsite, the location of World War II gun emplacements, to follow the Birket Cycle Route. Pedestrians can if they wish carry on along the embankment past Leasowe Common where in 1864 the oldest skeleton in Merseyside was found. 2 Moreton Beach is where the world’s first passenger hovercraft service operated to Rhyl in North Wales. The route joins North Shore near Leasowe Lighthouse, which is the oldest brick built lighthouse in the country. Together horse riders, walkers and cyclists can continue past the prehistoric sunken forest and onto Meols, famous for the number of archaeological metal finds that have been made there totalling over 5,000 and most of which date from 500BC to 1500AD. At King’s Gap, cyclists head inland, whilst pedestrians can continue along the foreshore or via Stanley Road to Red Rocks and onto West Kirby. 3 North Wirral Coast Seacombe - Tower Grounds 1 Seacombe Ferry Terminal and Spaceport This is one of two sites in Wirral from which you can take a trip on the Mersey Ferry to Liverpool. Also based here is the £10 million, space-themed attraction, Spaceport which takes you on an inspirational journey through space through the several themed galleries, all of which feature a large variety of interactive hands-on exhibits and audio visual experiences.

    Hoylake, West Kirby & District Registered Charity number 1164889 www.u3asites.org.uk/hoylakeOctober 2020 Just a few words from the Chair It will be great to log on to our Zoom meetings knowing that many of you will also be viewing it at home. Obviously not as good as our real monthly meetings, especially with me having to get my own tea and biscuits, but virtual talks allow Jules to select from some very good speakers from all parts of the country that have been recommended by other U3As. Nevertheless, we are all hoping that our ‘real’ U3A meetings won’t be too far in the future. The present local lock-down is hard on us all, but especially difficult for those living alone. We are trying as best we can to make contact with those members to let them know that they are not forgotten. Mike Waring and I are still available to assist anyone who is struggling with Zoom, or any aspect of their computer or tablet. Those of you who receive Third Age Matters magazine will have been pleased to see our very own member, and ex-Chairman Victoria Doran being featured. (Victoria’s latest report from Morocco is on page 3 of this Newsletter) Victoria was approached by email by National Office and asked if she would agree to a Zoom interview. It certainly made very good reading for all U3As. If you would like an online copy of the article about Victoria’s in T.A.M. please contact me or Marjorie. Graham. Our Zoom Talks Our very first Zoom talk is to be held on Thursday.
