Hoylake Coat of Arms

Hoylake Coat of ArmsThis is, I think, the Hoylake Coat of Arms. I found it here where the site goes on to say:

The arms were granted on November 1, 1960.

The shield, symbolises the District’s position on the Wirral peninsula, with a green background between white and blue waves for the Mersey and Dee estuaries. The golf clubs and crown refer to the world famous Royal Liverpool Golf Links, founded in 1869. The anchor refers to the former importance of Hoylake as a port, in 1689 William of Orange sailed from here to Ireland to fight King James, culminating in the Battle of the Boyne. The sheaf links with the arms of the Cheshire CC.

The sandstone rock represents Hilbre Island and the Red Rocks and the oystercatcher is a bird seen in huge numbers on the Dee Estuary.

    Hello Sim

    My Latin isn’t too hot, so I’ll take your word for it!

    Sorry, but I haven’t got any old pictures of Trinity Road. I’ve seen the odd old postcard of Hoylake for sales on ebay for a couple of pounds from time-to-time.

    Cheers

    John
