About this ebook
In Ken Pye's third collection of strange and often bizarre tales from Merseyside's History, prepare to be amazed and entertained, once again.
Where on Merseyside was the nonsense rhyme, 'The Owl and The Pussycat' written? How did the 'Cast Iron Shore' or the Cazzie get its name? Is there a lost street running beneath Lime Street?
Learn about 'Roast Beef' the Crosby Hermit, the prehistoric footprints on Formby Shore, and the particularly intimate wax models of diseased body parts found in the Paradise Street Museum of Anatomy. There are over fifty such true stories and secret wonders in this amazingly eclectic book, but consider yourself warned – once you begin reading these tales you might find it hard to stop!
