The Nelson Inn which we see today is a second generation version of the original inn. The first was described as a small
two storey building built by Thomas Peers having originally being built as a house. The name "Nelson" was taken from
his wifes maiden name.
The following is an excerpt from Noel E Smiths book "Almost an island"...
"Thomas Peers son named Alfred, held the license, whilst also being licensee of the Old Black Horse, who put Joseph Belce in
Charge of the Nelson. It was not unusual to see the barman or another brushing the blown sand away from the doorway".
In 1932 the old inn was demolished and work began on the new Tudor style building which we see today. In 1935 the
new Nelson Inn opened to the public at a cost of an astonishing £25,000.

| Extra Information There were 4 recorded licensees of public houses in Wallasey during 1561. The oldest public house is alleged to be the Cheshire Cheese in Wallasey village or possibly the Boot in Liscard. |
The Cheshire Cheese is said to be Wallasey's oldest recorded inn. The present day building does not date back more
than 80 years but there are records of the name existing as far back as the 1500, at which time Wallasey would have
looked much different. The previous building stood near old Folly lane in a row of cottages but was demolished in 1885
for the purpose of road widening.
