Accents and Dialects
The peninsula has many accents, though the proximity of the accents of Liverpool and Cheshire means that many people have accents in between the two. The inhabitants of Birkenhead and Wallasey, closer to Liverpool, are more closely influenced by the Liverpool "Scouse" accent. Accents in the South and West Wirral areas are not as strong, however. Neston once had a distinctive dialect derived from the migrant workers at the Denhall Colliery.

Famous quotes containing the words accents and and/or accents:
“Let others sing of knights and paladins
In aged accents and untimely words,
Paint shadows, in imaginary lines,”

“When the lamp is shattered,
The light in the dust lies dead;
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow’s glory is shed;
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
