Before it was built, if a body of a drowned seaman or fisherman was washed up on the beach and could not be identified, there was a very old lady who lived in a now demolished cottage off Black Horse Hill, West Kirby, whose job it was to collect the body and then lay it out. She was most busy in the 1890s when there were a number of great storms off the Wirral coast..... I enjoy Hoylake Junction a lot, but I guess I am your only reader living in Northern Ethiopia!
