This brightly painted chap is sat on his concrete plinth outside Surfers Restaurant in Banks Road. He’s one of the Wirral based Go Penguins and you can read all about the penguins at the official site.
This particular penguin is being used to raise recognition of Antarctic Warming (that’s what he’s called) and he’s been painted [...]
This is the top of one the buildings in The Crescent in the centre of West Kirby. Does anybody know what this building was originally used for? Those old windows are lovely!
Many thanks to Chris Hankin for sending me a few old photographs of the old West Kirby Station. This is the old station that served the line that ran the route of what is now the Wirral Way. Those of you who have lived in West Kirby for some years will recall the old railway [...]

Here’s a photo (source) of the busy Dee Lane junction with Barclays Bank on the corner. That’s a lovely sandstone building – does anybody know what it was originally built for? Maybe it’s always been a bank!
Of course Dee Lane junction, where it meets Grange Road has been of interest to the council road planners. [...]
Here’s a photo of the West Kirby sailing school building that I took back in December last year. I chose to pick this building as the subject of today’s Friday Photo as the site is back in the news again.
The local papers are reporting that the Council may make a compulsory purchase order on the [...]
I really like this sunset view taken a local earlier this in West Kirby. I think it’s by Jan Williams and you can see more of her photos by starting here. Looks to me like it was taken from the Wirral Way, though I’m open to correction!
If you would like your photo featured, simply email [...]
I was made aware of this photo posted in flickr on this page by a chap in America who was after some information about a Hoylake property.
Note the road sign for bowls and putting green !
