In Ken Pye's third collection of strange and often bizarre tales from Merseyside’s History, prepare to be amazed and entertained, once again.
Where on Merseyside was the nonsense rhyme, ‘The Owl and The Pussycat’ written? How did the 'Cast Iron Shore’ or the Cazzie get its name? Is there a lost street running beneath Lime Street?
Learn about 'Roast Beef’ the Crosby Hermit, the prehistoric footprints on Formby Shore, and the particularly intimate wax models of diseased body parts found in the Paradise Street Museum of Anatomy. There are over fifty such true stories and secret wonders in this amazingly eclectic book, but consider yourself warned – once you begin reading these tales you might find it hard to stop!
Well known across Merseyside and the North-West, KEN PYE is the author of over ten books on the history of his home city and its city region, and is a widely recognised expert in his field. Ken’s works include Discover Liverpool and The Bloody History of Liverpool; A Brighter Hope, about the founding and history of Liverpool Hope University; two volumes of his anthology of Merseyside Tales; Liverpool: The Rise, Fall and Renaissance of a World Class City; An A to Z of Liverpool and Liverpool Pubs.
