The beautiful town of West Kirby, located in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, has a rich history that's as inviting as the coastal landscapes it adorns. With a population of 12,733, it's a thriving community on Merseyside's west coast. Its Viking-derived name reflects the 'village with a church', making reference to the historic St. Bridget's Church, around which the original village revolved. Presently, the heart of the town pulses around the West Kirby railway station, attracting travellers to its Victorian promenade and West Kirby Marine Lake.

Created in 1899, the lake provides a sailing experience even during low tide. Following a leak in 1985, it was impressively rebuilt, symbolising the resilient nature of this endearing town. The significance of the World War I Hoylake and West Kirby War Memorial stands as a touching tribute to local heroes, designed by notable sculptor Charles Sargeant Jagger. Today, the town belongs to the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, since its inception in 1974 — a shift from its former administrative ties to Cheshire.
