The Wirral peninsula encompasses a fascinating diversity of places. Bounded by the River Dee in the west and the Mersey Estuary in the east, this unique area includes urban and industrial centres such as Birkenhead and Wallasey, built around the docks, the towns of Hoylake, West Kirby and Heswall, the faded seaside resort of New Brighton, rural hinterland and the unique Port Sunlight model village. In Wirral Pubs, author Les Jones takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the area's watering holes, many of which have retained features and traditions of previous ages. Brimming with quirky tales and fascinating facts, this carefully crafted guide initiates readers into the fascinating history of the Wirral's pubs.
