Paul O'Grady is younger than me and used to live in Tranmere as a kid. So anywhere further away than Birkenhead, would have been unknown exotic territory for him. I lived in Moreton and never saw a pier anywhere near Moreton shore. I suspect you're right in assuming it's New Brighton Pier and he's got a bit confused.

If it is a photo then I'm pretty sure there wasn't a pier at Moreton in the photographic era.

Can't see the pic, can you Upload it elsewhere? The north coast of the Wirral is shallow beaches. There would have been no use for a pier, unless it ran for many miles out to sea, like Southend Pier. Without seeing the pic, I'd guess at Egremont or Tranmere or New Brighton.

Yes I think we can safely say he was confused, he even thought he was a woman. That's a bit savage dilly

Definitely New Brighton Pier, same hand rails, same superstructure.

Just looked at the Picture, maybe the guy on the rights name is Morton Shore?
