This book sets out the evidence scholars have used to piece together the history of the Wirral Viking colony in the tenth century, and shows how they explain its origins and describe its characteristics. This book is a guide to the Viking impact on the Wirral. It includes reprinted illustrated essays from F. T. Wainwright, John McN. Dodgson, J. D. Bu'lock and W. G. Collingwood, on the history, art and names of the region. The work is brought into the twenty-first century by original contributions on developments in the history, archaeology, scholarly and popular interest in the Wirral. It is completed by a gazetteer examining the origins of the major place-names, which also forms an index to the volume.
