An Introduction to the West Wirral Coastline
At over 160 pages, this book offers an insight into the West Wirral Coastline during the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries using factual information and pictures. The West Wirral Coastline is the most naturally beautiful area in the North West of England, offering diverse wildlife and species. Most notibly the grey seals at Hilbre Island. Over a thousand years ago Wirral was invaded by Norsemen and their legacy can be read in the local place-names, the -by suffix meaning village in the old Norse tongue; we still use the term by-law today. Find out about the Viking Hogback stone that is still housed in West Kirby to this day. West Kirby was west of Kirby in Walea, the old name for Wallasey....

Viking DNA
This book details a genetic survey that has taken place focusing on men from old families from Wirral and West Lancashire. These 'Viking hot spots' in North West England exhibit many archaeological and historical features proving them to have had a clear Viking presence.

Ingimund's Saga
Around 1,100 years ago a group of Viking settlers from Scandinavia arrived somewhere between Þorsteinnstún (Thurstaston) and Melar (Meols) on the shores of north Wirral – a small peninsula lying between the Rivers Dee and Mersey – having been driven out of Ireland. This initiated a mass migration of their fellow countrymen into the area and soon they had established a community with a clearly defined border, its own leader, its own language, a trading port, and at its centre a place of assembly or government – the Thing at Þingvöllr (Thingwall). This community was answerable to nobody else: the English, the Welsh, the Dublin Norse, the Isle of Man, Iceland, and not even Norway. The...
