what do you guys know about denna hall in neston ?

ive had a google but not a lot of info coming up

The only reference I can find is that the High Sheriff of Clwyd in 1944 was a Richard Felix Summers of Denna Hall, Burton Point, Wirral, Cheshire. Possible start point?

This guy also appeared to be one of the Directors of a mining company.

Hope some of this helps!

all i can tell is the person who lives dere now is a man called tony bell he was the owner of 3 counties moreton he has lived dere for years i worked 4 him for over 10 years

pretty much similar to what ive found.

I know there was a colliery further up the coast line and there used to be a small jetty in the area

theres a mention that the area was busy with smuggling which is where my interest starts, i went passed the old carved namestone in a wall and a really interesting small building with stained glass windows further down the lane.

here is the locations
a is the name stone
b..the unusual building

yes thats the place been in dere before tony got it was a old peoples home think it was a wreck

There was a colliery in Neston. How far underground it went I don't know.

If you like smugglers

thx bert , a bit more info to go on, will get some pics of the building if i get chance

you carnt get in m8 to take pics even if you did his dogs would bite you tonys a millionaire ive no him for at lest 20 years

where did i mention i was going in to the property ?

both the name sign and the unusual building can be seen from the roadway

name comes from the area which was once known as "Danewell" - Field/Spring of the Danes depending on the interpretation.

I am trying to research it for a book I am writing on Old Halls of Wirral but can find very little. JoannaM

That sounds interesting Joanna, do you have any info on Raby Hall, Bromborough

i no him i worked for him at 3 counties

You could maybe try reading up on some of the stuff written by W.F.Irvine. He did a study called 'Notes on the Old Halls of Wirral' many years ago. Not sure if it mentions Denna Hall specifically, but there is a lot of other interesting stuff in there.

See about a third of the way down the screen on this link:

Denna Hall and Ness Colliery were originally owned by the Stanley family.
