Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of Southport and District: A Chronological History of North Meols, A. D. 1086 to 1886 "If any there be which are desirous to be strangers in theire owne soile and forrainers in theire owne citie - they may so continue and therein flatter themselves; for such I have not written these lines nor taken these paines," wrote Camden in the introduction to his Britannia. But I cannot think there are any in the beautiful town of Southport who "are desirous to be strangers in theire owne soile." The "Annals of Southport" were written with the conviction that few things so deeply and permanently influence the human head and heart as the historical associations of home. It was the fashion, with many persons, to sneer at the idea of North Meols having any history. I am of opinion that the following pages will show how mistaken those persons were. Hitherto no attempt has been made to publish the history of North Meols. Being out of the beaten track, none of the ancient writers went to the trouble of visiting this "bald "- the word Meols in the ancient Celtic means "bald " - place. Odd items in old documents show that the place was known before the Conquest, and probably other information will yet come to light. Before the manor was given to Roger de Poictou the tithes - or some of them - had been given to the monks of Lancaster. Some twenty years ago Mr. W. Norbury, in an article on the Peat Bogs of Lancashire, expressed an opinion that the district was inhabited long prior to the Celts coming here.
