The Thing in Thingwall, Cross Hill

During the 10th century, Wirral was a Viking mini-state with its own parliament (the Thing, or Ting). This was located on Cross Hill, across the main road from the reservoirs. Thingwall means 'assembly place'. Today, there is no indication there of its historical significance.
