Even More Merseyside Tales!

Even More Merseyside Tales! gathers more than 50 short accounts from Liverpool and the towns and villages around Merseyside, ranging across local history, folklore and curious community traditions. Ken Pye’s subjects include the Crosby Hermit, prehistoric footprints on Formby Shore and the origins of the Cast-Iron Shore, or ‘Cazzie’.

Other chapters consider the Black Rock Mermaid of old Wallasey, the horrors associated with Crank Caverns, the Pyramid Tomb of Rodney Street and Everton’s beacon fires and flags. The collection also turns to the Cavern Club, the alleged site of the writing of ‘The Owl and The Pussycat’, inventions, notorious figures and stories of places now altered or vanished.
