Globe readers for reasons as to why they love the Wirral. We reached out to our readers on our Facebook page last week to find out what is one thing they love about living on the Wirral. Here s what they said.
Walking along the coastline Whether it’s dipping your toes in the freezing water or taking a sunset walk on one of the three beautiful beaches Wirral has to offer, there’s no denying the sandy shores are a popular hit with locals and tourists. Phil Burkhill said: “Walking our beautiful coast line. Walk from Seacombe to West Kirby as much as possible sometimes continue to Hilbre island.”

OBHS April lecture: Early colonial scottish prisoners of war
Staff Report
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine Old Berwick Historical Society will present an online lecture on Thursday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. titled, “Involuntary Americans: Scottish Prisoners in Early Colonial Maine”.
Dr. Carol Gardner will detail the lives of some of Maine’s earliest settlers: prisoners of war who were sent to Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts against their will in 1650-1651. As forced laborers and later as free men, these solders left their marks on early New England society. Evidence of their existence is with us still. Dr. Gardner’s recently published narrative history of the same title chronicles the life and times of Scottish foot soldier Thomas Doughty, who was captured at the Battle of Dunbar, shipped to Boston, sold to a Puritan industrialist in New Hampshire, and eventually established his own milling operation on the Saco River in Maine.
