Upton, Wirral
Upton is a village on the Wirral, Merseyside close to Birkenhead. In 1847, William Williams Mortimer said of Upton in his 'History of the Hundred of Wirral': "..though now only a small village, [Upton] was formerly considered the metropolis of the lower mediety of Wirral, and had two annual fairs of considerable importance, and also a weekly market that was discontinued in 1620, the village having been recently almost entirely rebuilt, contains several good houses, among which may be particularly mentioned Upton Hall..."
