Oglet Point is a prominent coastal feature located in Lancashire, England. Situated on the western coast of the country, it is a headland that juts out into the Irish Sea. The point is known for its rugged beauty and stunning views, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

Rising approximately 30 meters above sea level, Oglet Point offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding coastline. The headland is characterized by its steep cliffs, which have been shaped by erosion over thousands of years. These cliffs provide a habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including seabirds such as gulls and cormorants.

The point itself is composed of sandstone and shale, adding to its distinctive appearance. At low tide, a rocky foreshore is revealed, unveiling an array of rock pools teeming with marine life. This makes Oglet Point a captivating destination for nature enthusiasts, who can explore the fascinating ecosystem that exists within the pools.

The headland is easily accessible via a footpath that winds its way along the cliff tops. This path allows visitors to take in the breathtaking coastal scenery, with the opportunity to spot passing ships and even dolphins or seals in the water below.

Overall, Oglet Point is a picturesque and geologically significant headland in Lancashire. Its rugged cliffs, diverse wildlife, and stunning views make it a must-visit location for anyone seeking to experience the natural beauty of the British coastline.

Dunnies, Hale Road, Liverpool A pub/social club probably built in the early 1950s. It was previously The Fox. Pevsner notes that in Speke there were "no pubs in the earlier parts of the scheme because the Corporation initially banned licensed premises from its housing estates. At Speke, as elsewhere, the breweries simply erected them across the road."
