Came across this query on facebook "This image is from a ceramic pattern book containing logos which the Spode factory printed onto specially commissioned tableware (The books are haphazardly arranged and were used between 1820-1890). Has anyone any information on Montgomery's Railway Hotel in Heswall? My searches online and in late Victorian street maps have proved fruitless." Many thanks here are some ideas that were suggested Heswall railway station opened 1886. Statue of liberty was dedicated in 1886. The Black Horse used to be The Heswall Hotel run by a Montgomery Please could someone post a map with Heswall station and the Heswall Hotel or Black Horse on so I can see why it may have been possibly named Railway Hotel
I'm none the wiser. Was the Station Hotel built as a new build nearer the station or was the The Black Horse Inn replaced by a Station Hotel which may have had a name change to Heswall Hotel and later back to the original name of The Black Horse. Not sure if The White Lion mentioned was the one in West Kirby or where The Ship was
Could the station have been what is now the Wirral Way ? That went across the bottom of Station Road, Lower Heswall.
