<strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> is a town on the north-west corner of the Wirral Peninsula in<br />

Merseyside, England, at the mouth of the River Dee. To the north-east lies<br />

Hoylake, to the east Grange and Newton, and to the south-east Caldy. At the<br />

2011 Census, the population was 12,733. The town is on the opposite side of<br />

the River Dee to Mostyn in North Wales.<br />

History The name <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> is of Viking origin, originally Kirkjubyr, meaning<br />

'village with a church'. The form with the modifier "<strong>West</strong>" exists to distinguish<br />

it from the other town of the same name in Wirral: Kirkby-in-Walea<br />

(now the modern town of Wallasey). The earliest usage given of this form is<br />

<strong>West</strong> Kyrkeby in Wirhale in 1285. The old village lay around St. Bridget's<br />

Church, but the town today is centred on <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> railway station, which is<br />

about 1 km away. The town has a Victorian promenade, flanked by the <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>Kirby</strong> Marine Lake that permits boats to sail even at low tide. The original wall<br />

was built to create the lake in 1899 but suffered a catastrophic leak in 1985. A<br />

new lake was constructed on the site which is wider than previously and<br />

allows better sporting opportunities. The Hoylake and <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> War Memorial<br />

is a notable local landmark, designed in 1922 by the British sculptor<br />

Charles Sargeant Jagger, who was responsible for a number of war memorials<br />

around the world, including the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner<br />

in London.<br />

Civic history <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> was a township and parish within the Wirral Hundred.<br />

It became part of Hoylake <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> civil parish and Hoylake Urban<br />

District in 1894. The population was 148 in 1801, 435 in 1851 and 4,542 in<br />

1901. On 1 April 1974, <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> was absorbed into the newly created<br />

Metropolitan Borough of Wirral as part of local government reorganisation in<br />

England and Wales. At that point, <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> ceased to be in Cheshire for<br />

administrative purposes and became part of the new administrative county of<br />

Merseyside. In February 2008 plans were raised for a regeneration of the<br />

concourse sports and leisure centre including new retail space and controversially<br />

a multi-storey car park. As of 2013 the project appears to have stalled<br />

with developers' interest and funding wavering. Local residents' opposition is<br />

strong.<br />

Geography <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> lies at the north-western corner of the Wirral<br />

Peninsula. <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> is on the eastern side of the mouth of the Dee Estuary,<br />

opposite North Wales and approximately 8 miles (13 km) west of Liverpool. Hilbre Island is approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore from <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong>, at<br />

the mouth of the Dee Estuary. Secondary schools in the area are Calday Grange Grammar School on Caldy Hill, <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> Grammar School and Hilbre<br />

High School, which includes the <strong>West</strong>WirralWorks City Learning Centre and <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> Residential School.<br />

Leisure <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> Library is within <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> Concourse, and operated by the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral.<br />

The <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> Museum, founded in 1892, is adjacent to St Bridget's Church. The town itself contains Ashton Park and<br />

a starting point of the Wirral Way, which follows the trackbed of the former Birkenhead Railway branch line from<br />

Hooton. Sandlea Park lies in the centre of the town, a short walk from the railway station. Coronation Gardens is located<br />

between the southern end of the promenade between South Parade and Banks Road. There are various other small<br />

parks and bowling greens around the town. Another popular activity is to walk out to the islands of Little Eye, Middle<br />

Eye and Hilbre Island at low tide. The promenade, beach and the walk to the war memorial allow an excellent panoramic<br />

view of part of the North Wales coastline.<br />

Sport Sailboarding, sailing and kayaking are all popular local sports. In October 1991 the World Windsurfing Speed<br />

Record was set by Dave White on the <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> Marine Lake at 42.16 knots. It was held for two years until it was<br />

beaten in Australia. Water sports fans are warned to wear appropriate footwear while using the marine lake because of<br />

the presence of weaver fish with sharp poisonous barbs. There is also an RNLI Lifeboat Station near <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> Sailing<br />

Club. The Royal Liverpool Golf Club, a links course between <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> and Hoylake, has hosted 11 British Open Golf<br />

championships in the past 121 years, most recently the 2006 and 2014 British Opens. <strong>West</strong> <strong>Kirby</strong> has a large man-made<br />

coastal lake, the 'Marine Lake'. The structure is large enough to hold sailing events, such as the Wilson Trophy, sailboarding<br />

and many more water-related activities including canoeing, kayaking and power-boating. In early 2009 it was<br />

reported that the lake had undergone structural damage, most likely due to estuarine erosion. Since this report a £750K<br />

refurbishment has taken place to help restore the lake, and it is now back to holding water sport activities.
