West Kirby, Merseyside Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• The "Helter Shelter" in ashton park
• The monny, Ashton park and the beach
• newton park- bryn, gwyn, martin, Bob, richie, stubbs, danny, ailsa, sarah, anna, becky, angie, claire
• the quarry on calday hill, crack den the bush viewpoint and oslos ditch and the secret garden, the bunker was gd till it got filled in
• The ditch- aka the golf course, can be accessed from west kirby beach. Just walk along the grassy bit for a while (beware of aggressive scals lookin to steal ya fags), find a gate et voila, this is a drinking ground for many alternates and normal people, occassionally sound scals too.
• The beach, really the only place to go, but what a great place it is. Other than that, the station is always good - you can get to places that aren't West Kirby from it!
• trimbs
• The shelter at the top of Grange Hill - I've never seen anybody in it.
• One must go to the building that all pay homage to: Safeway. Whilst ambling along the aisles to the dulcid tones of misery as you eye the 2 for 1 chicken kiev and bleach offers, you'll be sure to bump into a long lost pal...or someone you'd rather avoid.
• Usually go the ringers myself.. then the spoons but in total.. west kirby is a load of shite.. get the train to liverpool.
• Queens Park in Hoylake, outside the local off licence lol!
• concourse, train station, ashton park, sandlea park,
• The Dog is the pub for the males and only the locals will find the dog as it's real name is the opposite. A Short taxi ride takes you to the land of life the clubs pubs and scousers, but at end of a party night you can return to the land of calm. I must say about the old corry park I used them bogs for many years before they looked like the enterprise, and you ever found the Friday rave cave on Caldy hill or the secret stach on Grange Hill, well I have had a few smokes with out little mate at the monument set between his legs and smilled at the view :O)
• gotta be safeway in the summer, otherwise in the winter anywhere indoors. coz its damn cold.
• All the stupid scally freaks hang out outside the Concourse trying to convince people to buy them some beer from the nearby off-licence. Pathetic isn't it. Oh and they tuck their socks outside their trousers! Losers.
• AT the beach usually a few times a week usually on the sunny days and nights , many points down the beach on the safeway end you can find partys and many many sessions all the way up to the bunker on the golf course by the viewpoint . Also Ashton Park , well renound point for those of the mellow variety , always top park (beware of scallys F**** ! ) . Various points on calday hill and the manin meeting point at Safeway (sound people only )
• BEACH, in the summer months, you will always find many dodgy people (not including myself of course), having good wholesome fun on the beach!!
• THE QUARRY ON CALDY HILL(ROLL ON SUMMER) RAYMOND'S SHOP (NOW GERRARDS)WHAT A FREAK SHOW THE BASSMENT(R.I.P.)
• safeway car park hoylake train station carpark
• Safeway!!!!! purveyors of cheap(ish) vodka,cigs and skins. THE meeting place for most of the west kirby moshers. The monument. kinda mixed, a lot quieter than the parks,but full of scallys at times and not really used since everyone got done for climbing the wall into the back of the old peoples home The Gulf car park - bring back the gulf!!!!! the gulf garage has now been renamed the taurus ,but the carpark lives on, still used by some of the skaters. The Ringers, thats right, you flash your fake i.d., full of kids but still a laugh.
• The space bogs in Corination Park, metallic and strange, used to be a god send when open 24hrs, but because of the way we used 'em as kids, they are now closed at night!
• This is the place in which the notorius, Chris Clayburn resides at . All who meet this amazing person, are left devastated by his godly presence and worship him.
• Ashton Park
• The Concourse or by the train station.
• Safeway car park from about 7.30pm onwards every night.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
