Book excerpt: During the Victorian era, the British Seaside became a popular destination for the working class citizens of Britain. At over 380 pages of historical information and pictures, this book captures just how popular, the area of New Brighton on the Cheshire coast became during Victorian times. Not only was New Brighton popular during the 19th century, but it was formerly a haunt for Pirates & Smugglers, most famously with Mother Redcaps Inn. Lost treasure still remains underneath New Brighton, in Networks of smugglers tunnels that run to all corners of Wallasey. New Brighton was a front runner in many departments, it once housed the biggest tower in Britain, it still has the longest promenade in Britain and even had a football team playing in the top flight of football. The book introduces the reader to the creation of a Seaside resort , from start to finish. Following the devastating fire in 1969, New Brighton which was the most popular Seaside resort in the North West, slowly disappeared into a ghost town during the latter half of the 20th Century. However new investment in the 21st Century has encouraged visitors to return again to a once popular Victorian Seaside Resort.

Download or read book Around Wallasey and New Brighton written by Ralph Rimmer and published by Tempus Pub Limited. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wallasey area can boast a continuous recorded history of more than 1500 years, from being 'Welshman's Island', through the years of its manorial estates, its more recent renown as a leading holiday centre, to a group of thriving communities within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. This compilation of over 230 old photographs provides a visual record of Wallasey and its environs over more than a hundred years. It will bring back memories to the millions of day trippers and holiday makers who flooded into the area to enjoy all the attractions it had to offer, the pier, the Tower, the swimming pools, the fairgrounds, the parks, the busy shopping streets and all the other entertainments provided for their pleasure. This selection of images, however, is also a celebration of the contributions of the area's inhabitants to the achievements of the townships that make up this corner of Wirral; Moreton, Leasowe, Wallasey Village, Liscard, Egremont, Poulton and Seacombe. The people are shown at work and at play, in school and on the seashore, in the streets or attending special events. This book will appeal to all Wallasey residents old and young, whether they live in the area or, like the author, look back with nostalgia on it as a place where they used to live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wirral which Tom Slemen writes about in this fascinating book is a peninsula of ghosts, phantoms, spectres, doppelgangers, premonitions, reincarnations, astral voyages to another world and timeslips. The cases in Haunted Wirral confirm the old adage that truth really is stranger than fiction. Most ghost story books about Wirral include the same old weathered yarns about Mother Redcap's ghost and the spectres of smugglers, but the mysterious peninsula proved to be a stranger place than even Tom Slemen took it to be, with 51 tales weirder than anything found within the books of Stephen King, or Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. This edition includes a lost Wirral tale of Tom's that was recently found by the author concerning the "Thin Man" of Telegraph Road...
