consider myself to be a great ambassador for The Wirral (capital "T") I was taught it was either "Wirral" or "The Wirral Peninsula".

That IS something impressive. I wonder how it was received.

Cheshire - Wirral became part of Cheshire after the death of Alfred in 901 and the Kingdom of Merica was divided up into administrative districts called ‘shires’. The Wirral became part of Chester’s shire.
The first Celtic Christian churches were established on the Wirral in 5th Century A.D. There were three churches - Landican (St Tegan), Wallasey (St Hilary) and West Kirby (St Bridget) all dedicated to Celtic Saints.
In the 1650’s Wirral was Royalist during the Civil War.
