	A Brief History of North Meols
		Following the Norman invasion, the lands around North Meols were passed on to William De Coudrey, who’s son, Robert, built the first Manor House in the parish - now Meols Hall.
		At this time the parish of North Meols consisted of a narrow strip of arable land and meadows, bounded by the sea to the west and north, and by Martin Mere to the east (Martin Mere was an expanse of water which has since been drained for use as agricultural land).
		Some years ago a wharf was discovered below the entrance gates to Meols Hall, but a thorough excavation was not possible due to the proximity of the cottages.

		The name Meols may not be familiar to many people, but the archaeological remains uncovered at this site on the north coast of the Wirral peninsula may be some of the most important evidence in Britain for prehistoric, Roman and medieval coastal settlement and trade.
		One of the effects of this was a sudden acceleration in coastal erosion at Meols.
		Meols was also near several important territorial boundaries throughout history - Cornovian and Brigantian in the Iron Age, Anglo-Saxon and Viking, and English and Welsh in later times.

	Ancient Meols No 1.
		We, working on the same plane can genuinely call ourselves amateur archaeologists and antiquarians as he found himself in his time, the difference being of course, that we are now over a century ahead and therefore have the benefit of more up to date information.
		Dove Point must have long been a halting place, and there, we are told, that in the seventeenth century the larger vessels discharged their cargo or part of it to enable the ships to sail over the flats into the new port of Liverpool.
		It seems clear he was referring to the 'Submarine Forest' or to the tree stumps that were known as "Meols Stocks" and it look likely that in the early part of the seventeenth century the remains of trees existed in great numbers.

		Meols Drive, which began to be developed with housing in the 1890s, linked the two townships.

	Ancient Meols No 22
		From this it is evident that the earliest inhabitants of Meols established themselves on the side next to the lighthouse.
		On this promontory ancient Meols was no doubt situated; and the unsubstatial materials of which it was composed, like the hill of Dunwich, presented facilities for its destruction.
		It would certainly appear as if the inhabitants had just shifted westward, in the direction of Little Meols; for there was there twice as much land available for cultivation, and the labourers and the tenants were three and three respectively.

	North Meols to South Ribble
		North of Southport, we still have North Meols - "nine miles long with the sea on one side and the mosses and marshes of Scarisbrick and Halsall fringing Martin Mere, on the other".
		(Meols - Scandinavian for a "sand hill" with "North" to distinguish it from the earlier Norse settlement on the Wirral - pronounced "Mells".) The Anglo-Saxon chronicle recalls the conquest of North Meols in 923 by the English King and its transfer from Northumbria to Mercia.
		Originally it extended so much into North Meols at one point it was separated from the sea only by a narrow neck of land.
