It is now part of a very old dialect that my grandparents may have known, but Heswall residents were known as "Yowlers".

I had never heard the term in my lifetime (b. 1949) until I got to know one of the last full-time Hoylake fishermen in the 1970s and he always talked about "Yowler City" meaning Heswall. But I never heard that again until some recent searching.

As confirmed by Wirral historian and writer Greg Dawson, Neston people called those in Heswall "Yowlers" and they called Neston people "Yusers" as in the greeting "A'reet Yuse?"
And two articles in Neston Past "Reminiscences of a Train Boy" describing the Hooton line journey to school at Calday Grange GS also said that Heswall was called "Yowler".

But no-one has so far explained why that epithet? My guess is like the Black Country people are called "Yam-Yams" and the Brummies "Yow-Yows" (both for "you are") maybe it was an old dialect for "you will".

Any ideas or recollections welcomed!

For week beginning 20th January, collections will be for Grey bins from all households on their normal collection date.

Brown bins are staying to plan.

If bins aren't collected on your collection day, leave them out, there will be catch-up collections over the weekend

There used to be a band of dedicated Letby supporters who would post frequently on social media or newspaper comments pages about her being scapegoated and hidden from the media (until it all came out).

These comments used to be quickly deleted.

CHEERS

In 1921, Victor was living in Toxteth, Liverpool, with Joseph Savage and his wife, Fanny Eliza, nee Warmington, recorded as Nephew. Joseph Savage was a Policeman and no doubt Victor followed later in his footsteps.

Hello
This may seem an out of blue message. Recently my dad has been talking about his extended family he had a lot of aunts and uncles. Never really knew alot about them. He mentioned he had an uncle (paternal side) who was a policeman in Liverpool, my dad was very young when he was in the force, then lived in Wallasey with his aunt Elsie. Been having a look online to see if i could find anything and came across this messageboard. It seems to tie up with your post and I'm wondering if its the same people! would love to see photos if you had any or willing to share any more info.
We are based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. My dads family (Warmington) came from Nuneaton , Warwickshire.

Yes, I do that too. I look at the older buildings (even the older terraces like you mentioned), and you can see there was some creativity and pride back then. I think corporate greed has taken over....now it's all about profits. I've watched quite a few videos about how we're losing the skills we had in architecture in buildings etc. There are some really good videos about it if you look around. Just look at cathedrals for example. Amazing works of art. Sad isn't it

Apparently the Wirral Line was shut down today because ......

"Due to poor weather conditions at Hamilton Square, all Wirral line services are currently suspended due to poor weather conditions"

I would love to know how the weather affects trains in a 90ft deep level station?

I went when that opened, I am sure it was Elsie Tanner and Len Fairclough who opened it.

On some 19th century maps (OS 6" 1st edition) its not marked as a pub but is marked as a Blacksmiths, no idea whether this was a mistake in the early surveys.
