The Wirral (sic) isn't called The Wirral. In fact the correct form is just Wirral. The Wirral, an abbreviation of the Wirral Peninisular, is a scouseism from Liverpool for its better heeled neighbour over the water but widely and incorrectly used in common parlance. A matter of some debate locally. Residents of Wirral are called Wirralians. There is a book which describes the historic settlements of Wirral entitled 'The Hundred of Wirral'.
