Created | Updated Feb 8, 2012
In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Nether Pool like this:
POOL (Nether), a township in Eastham parish, Cheshire; on the Mersey, 8 miles S S E of Birkenhead. Acres, 1, 689; of which 1, 240 are water. Real property, £562. Pop., 25 . Houses, 3. P.[Pool] Hall is a Tudor mansion; was long the residence of the Pool family; and is now the seat of W. Amery, Esq.
Notes:
Netherpool was a township in Eastham ancient parish, Wirral hundred (SJ 3978), which became a civil parish in 1866.
The civil parish was abolished in 1911 to become part of Ellesmere Port.
The population was 13 in 1801, 23 in 1851, and 21 in 1901.
For the period after 1911, see Ellesmere Port.
