Is it true, Frank Field has been laid to rest somewhere here?

🤝

Thanks Will I really enjoyed the vid. I am a Moreton native now in Australia but as kids we often cycled to Bidson hill and Thurston hill famous for the sacrificial rock or Thor rock we called it. I have maintained an interest in the Nordic culture of the Wirral your video opened up new and fascinating information Thanks Geoff

Brilliant video thank you

Let's make a video together Will. I have a few ideas.

What happened there??? Nice one, Billy Lad. Baby's first night stealth camping is always a stressful affair, like. Keep your eye out for the Jawsnappers 🩶

Oh and congrats on the little one, they'll grow to be wise with you as a Dad

Cheers for the update Will. Looking forward for the next revelations. Keep them coming.

Is right will , looking forward to the next one la 👍 congratulations on the baba mate , our third is due in 8 weeks too cant wait, enjoy your family time fella nothing beats it 💙

🥰💜 can’t wait for more history content xx

I am patriotic twins on Rum ble & Bi t Chu te. Where if you scroll back long enough you will find them about the battle of Brunanburh. There are two sets of videos at different times with my friend Brexitmapman

Children are all our future, well done, now have many more, I am a single parent of 2 sets of twins and had 2 previously before that. The Wirral is a important place, the true history of the Wirral has been hidden, it is the place where the Battle of Brunanburh was fought in 937. The establishment don’t want to recognise anything before 1066 that has massive significance and the battle of Brunanburh has unbelievable massive significance, it’s Where king Æthelstan of England & Britain established himself once and for all time as the 1st king of all time of Britain, he is known as Rex Totius Britanniae. This has massive significance on who we are & what we are. Post Brexit you will see the establishment either directly or indirectly try to break up Great Britain, they will say it’s an artificial construct, they will claim that it was first only ever created in 1707 when Scotland voluntarily joined up With England and Wales to create Great Britain. They will never admit that pre 1066 the English United all of Britain under 1 king, it may only have lasted for King Ãthelstan’s reign and some time afterwards, but it proves that the idea of Great Britain is not a modern construct that is artificial, but an historic fact that is natural for us to believe in a United people on this Island we all live in. So you now know the truth and the power of what it means, you say your a patriot, so that is why I give you this powerful information. God bless your Daughter friend and fellow English Man and Fellow Briton.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby x

I have lived on the wirral all my 33 years and bidston hill is by far the most eerie place to visit. I used to live on boundary road from the age of 1-6, flaybrick cemetery out the back windows with bidston woods in front, spooky place to live 😂 Brilliant videos love your channel 👍

Excellent video re Irby, thank you. We will watch your video again it’s extremely fascinating. I’ve also walked the quarry at Irby it’s very thought provoking.

You are 100% correct this area around the Dibbinsdale river is a 10th century front line and where Bruna built his fort somewhere along this river in Bronsborough, known then as a Burh, these Burhs were started in Wessex under Alfred the great, King Æthelstan’s Grand Father, his daughter Æthelflead also known as the lady of the Mercians allowed a Norse settlement in 902, her husband Ethelred didn’t die until 911, but Æthelflead started taking major decisions as Ethelred was ill from 902 onwards. There was a battle at 910 as the Norse started spreading beyond the Wirral, it wasn’t the best farmland and they needed to move beyond the Wirral, so a battle was fought for Chester, but Æthelflead was ready for them and defeated them and I believe they was pushed back into the Wirral north of Dibbingsdale River and a chap called Bruna ( that means Brown in modern day English, whether he had Brown Hair, or Brown eyes or olive skin, who knows) built a Burh, which became Brunanburh, modern name Bromborough. So your video is very important and you said the River was much more deeper and more significant in the 10th century, which is also very interesting. The River Dibbinsdale runs from east to west as It passes Bromborough, then a little after Bromborough it runs south for quite a while where it seems to fade away, so if you was a Norse in the 10th century it would be very difficult to circumnavigate that fortification, rather than storm it across a deep river with a high hill on the opposite side and a fortification above that hill as it runs through a valley, so if you then decided to try to go around it you would be leaving yourself isolated and cut of as you would need to travel south for quite a while as you circumnavigate the river and then travel north to reach the fortification completely cut of and still face a formidable fortification. It’s virtually impregnable in my opinion and just like in Wessex under Alfred these Burhs really frustrated the Danes also, it was virtually impossible for them to overcome. Contact me i am jamielilley@btinternet.com I have been doing videos about the battle of Brunanburh, that it is definitely in the Wirral for some time now and we held a meeting called Æthelstan’s round table my videos are not on CZcams, If I mention the platform they are on, CZcams might take this comment down. Regards Jamie.

65 metres deep??? That’s about 200 feet. Don’t think so.

My Dad used to push me in my wheelchair up there to the od sundial then useed to sit me on it to admire the view..i was terrified lol

Do rangers patrol to prevent people bivvying?

Rip Jack. Good mate of mine

I live in the port an didnt know half the stuff here...brilliant video mate

Good vids m8👍

Beautiful place

im my 50 years i think ive only ever been up there 4 times only in the daytime, and every time it gives me a un-nerving feeling...not scared just uneasy. a good place to check out is just down the road by the penny bridge in the wasteland on the wallasey side, about 25 years ago myself and 4 other friends went down there when there was 3 giant cranes along the dockside(got taken down over a decade ago now) we used to climb up them of a nightime, on our way back down my friends went into a brick hut which was by the entrance it was busted open and had corrugated steel on the window, as they went in i threw a stone against the steel to scare them, they ran out and behind them was a black figure with no features and very tall, i shouted run and it chased us right up the middle of the road by the poulton vics club, its a wide road with nowhere to go but up or down, it chased us up the road for about 150 yards, we all turned round and it vanished in a split second, as though we went out of it zone, we never went down again, 5 people witnessed the same thing.

Super interesting, I had no idea there was a Bear Pitt not too far from Warrington. P.S we have the same crocs.

The Wirral looks like one giant enchanted garden with woodland, it's simply a glorious place. I'm wondering have any top films been filmed there? You could even devote one entire video to those Satanic areas along with the witch places. I was feeling scared for you when you decided to set up camp. I remember watching a documentary plus a film about a place I think is in China a giant forest where people go to commit suicide. There's been many sightings of entities in the forest which is also known for witchcraft and satanic ritual activities.

Funny that as the Wirral's most famous band The Coral brought out an album called "Magic and Medicine back in the 2000s with songs about witchcraft and spooky tales. I'd image that they frequently visited places such as this.

Remember going up biddy with a mate in the 80s it was pitch black , and we spotted someone just sitting looking towards Liverpool on their own, we walked behind them and they never flinched, never looked round to see who was behind them , never moved a muscle, it freeked us out, it had nothing to do with the mushrooms we'd taken..... honest.😉😜

800th subscriber.. it’s mad lived here my whole life never heard of those carvings before.. cool vid matey..

Brilliant video again. Thank you Will. I thought I knew the area well but have learned a lot from you - again! You should have your own Tv programme. Many blessings to you from a fellow croc wearer 😃

Great video as always Will. Those woods looked a bit sketchy to be sleeping in tho, wouldn't wanna get any unwanted ghostly attention. Also your utter disgust that people didn't know about the tree made me chuckle. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe, but more importantly, stay cute. FERDA WIRRAL

Ace presentation and really informative and interesting, brill

Well, I never knew half out that existed. Talk about an informative video, mate! Will you do one on Moreton and Leasowe eventually?

Very well researched, loads of info and history I had no idea of. Camera work brilliant as usual. Really atmospheric this one, there a real precence in them woods. I'm gonna find that tree and pay my respects 🌲

41:58 It’s got a great fox community there. I’ve watched them at night frolicking away. They’re brave and will come close if you’ve got food to share. 🦊

28:20 Will be hunting this tree this week 🤩

hey will I grew up on the ford estate and when i was younger I was on the hill and saw a fire and weird dancing at the Windmill so I get you when you say about satanic worship goin on ther it was summer time when i saw them and i was about 10 years old . scary innit mate :)

P.s we learnt a few new things from this one that 1700 year old tree blew our minds 🤯

Me and the mrs just watched you on the tele then lol big screen experience 😅😂, amazing effort on this one will mate 👌👍 nice one la

Proper Jacket that, Billy lad. Excellently researched, brilliantly presented, and beautifully filmed, as always; a point you failed to mention, Bill, was, de Stanley and Joan Baumville parted company early in their relationship, due to circumstances beyond their control. They remained star crossed lovers, however, and when he finally reunited with her some 30 years later, he was astonished to discover that she was 23 stone, so he legged it. Great vid, Billy, your best mini documentary to date, imho. I used to hear the manic 3am laughter when I was on nights at Carlett Park college, and could never identify the source; always suspected that it could have been Jays dawn chorusing - they're brilliant mimics.

vary good video I lived in the village in the seventys in the old vicarage with oak beems running through found memory's of living there.

Looking very dapper lad 😉 Good to see you back man. Will get this one watched later 👌

You did a great job with this video! I live not too too far from Eastham, and yes i've visited all those places. We once thought it would be a great idea to spend the night in our van in the car park, but it turned out to be a dogging area! LOL! So we went home instead. You were brave to sleep in the forest on your own.

Thanks Will!!!!! ❤❤❤

Norse,saxon?what an idiot...

Will what’s up ! That tree is amazing bro

I spent most of my teenage years hanging round those places with mates and girl freinds, Happy days.

Hi Will have you been to Barnston dales , when I was younger the local farmers said that a battle was fought next to the stream centuries ago

Loved watching your videos Will, the Wirral is beautiful as well as so full of history. There are 5 Viking grave markers dating back to 930 AD displayed in Neston Parish church along with a tombstone of a knight pre 1300. Neston parish church was rebuilt in 1874 and uncovered in the foundations with the 5th Viking grave marker being used as a lintel in the bell tower. Nearby in St Bridget’s in West Kirby they have on display a hog back stone one of two located on the Wirral. The other I understand is in West Kirby museum who are open every Saturday 10am till1pm. Am resting up after ham string tear but hoping to visit the museum when I able to- never knew it was there. Carry on with your brilliant posts on utube.

Catching up on your Peregrinations Will. From Mediterranean Spain...... of course we played here in the 60's......innocent & safe, apart from adrenalin driven desires to climb higher & higher up a sycamore, birch or rather more challenging species. I admit to being complicit in starting an innocuous gorse fire, high summer, around 1960, just a mile away on Poll Hill Common. Bless all nature trekkers & pioneers of local history! Phil D'
