Mersey originates from the ancient border between Mercia (with Norwegian Vikings settling on Wirral, Cheshire & South, the Mercian Army Regiment today is based in Chester), and Northumberland (Under Danelaw, from Danish Viking 'settlers'), now Lancashire. Liverpool owes its origins from the 6 Monks of Birkenhead Priory, operating the first Mersey Ferries for taxation to the crown of England (still operating under a royal charter), from Monks Ferry (Woodside), in Birkenhead to the 'Pool of Liver'. Liverpool logically owes it's very existence to those Monks, developing a hundred years or more, later.

Nice to see you got some recognition. I was trying to work out the modern names from the map. I think I got most but not all. 😉👍

To this day when you are looking for ancestors, you look for people in West Derby not Liverpool. On the Wirral, people from Wallasey were Welsh, it was an island inhabited by the British, Wirral was almost impossible to move around, all the old villages were on hills surrounded by marsh.

It's more believable to me knowing kirche is German for church and he says bi meant a place, Kirby the place of the church confirmed, fascinating stuff.

Was the high-walled ‘embankment’ in Newsham Park (at the top of Lister Drive) once some sort of fortification…? (Askin for a friend…)

I think that has more to do with the railway line that passes under it.

You can see Litherland, Bootle, Walton and (West) Derby in this map plus Tarbock in the South.

Where is the Norman brickwork in the city ???

@leerymill392 3 жыл бұрын

All Saints Church in Childwall. You can see Norman 'cross-hatched' patterning on a few stones outside and inside the main entrance. It isn't exact Durham Cathedral, but it's here and it's 1000 years old.

Does West Derby Hall near the Church relate to that time?

@leerymill392 3 жыл бұрын

I believe it was built in 1912 as the date on the front suggests. A fine example of people building things in harmony with the landscape and history of an area. It's a shame it isn't done today.

@@leerymill392 Thank you, Lee. About 60 years ago, we (four children) had a large birthday party for all of our birthdays, even though they were at different times during the year. There were the usual childrens games, birthday tea, and an entertainer who was an excellent ventriloquist and conjurer.
