News to me but article in the Wirral Globe suggests Wirral inspired the sci-fi output of Jules Verne. Supporting website has a number of articles. Not in a position to judge but interesting historical context anyway. julesverneandtheheroesofbirkenhead.co.uk

It all kicks off this weekend. Bikeathon on Sunday but first West Kirby Music Festival on Saturday with afaict 42 acts across 10 venues. Apart from posters at some of the venues I haven’t seen much by way of publicity but the denizens of local pubs, bars and coffee shops will doubtless be entertained. More info I suspect at Coronation Gardens on the day. In aid of Maggie’s cancer charity which has a centre at Clatterbridge. #Wirral #WestKirby www.westkirbylive.co.uk
