Description
The Wirral Peninsula is a place of contrasts, with its large north-eastern towns standing in stark contrast to the rolling green acres and breezy open shores of its western edges. This unique region has been the subject of much writing over the years, but there are many lesser-known stories waiting to be told. Secret Wirral sets out to explore some of these tales, delving into the rise and fall of New Brighton's Tower Grounds and the role the peninsula played in the burgeoning entertainment industry. The book also examines the myths and legends that have built up on its shores, as well as unusual facts about some of Wirral's diverse villages. A final chapter looks at the extraordinary history of Birkenhead Park and the lesser-known aspects of Wirral's sporting and leisure industry, making for an evocative and interesting excursion through this often-overlooked corner of Britain.
