If you go to Ireland again. Go to Chicken Hut in Limerick. Heard it has the actual original KFC recipe before it was corrupted by KFC becoming a huge corporation.

Birkenhead has a lot to see- perhaps go earlier in the day when it's safer, and things are open. We have world heritage sites such as Birkenhead Park, and we have the wonderful Birkenhead Priory, Williamson Art Gallery, Future Yard, Hamilton Square, Bidston Moss nature reserve, Bidston Hill, Tam O' Shanter's Farm, Storeton Woods. Up from Charing Cross there are lots of international food places. We have multicultural centres, lots of community hubs, charities and projects. The council are currently 'regenerating' the area. hence lots of road works and things changing. It is a very socio-economically deprived area, but there's so much going on here. I hope you can visit again in the day and check out some of the things above. I think you will be very impressed. You could also travel into Port Sunlight.
Very shouty response for not liking some chips lol I personally thought the Bispham Kitchen was amazing (chickens and mushroom pie then a cake to go) Can't wait to go back when I visit Blackpool next week
