The Wirral peninsula encompasses a fascinating diversity of places. Bounded by the River Dee to the west and the Mersey Estuary to 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.
Les Jones was born and bred in Wallasey and educated at Oldershaw School and John Moores University. He has a keen interest in local history, particularly the Wallasey area, and has amassed a large collection of postcards, books and ephemera of the town. He has written articles for special interest magazines nationally for many years. He is married with three grown-up sons.
