Not far away from Leasowe castle, is the tale of the Leasowe mermaid, She was often seen at midnight in the moonlight and at full tide, sitting on some boulders near to the shore, combing her hair and singing as only mermaids can. The mermaid was both beautiful and irresistible, as one young man came to find out, John Robinson found her sitting on Black Rock near Liverpool, as he sailed by in his boat. Disregarding all his mother had told him, he fell pray to her charms, he invited her on board his vessel, where there talked for a long while. She dived back into the deaths of the water. She then gave him her ring as a keepsake. Five days later, John Robinson died of a broken heart. This story told of Black rock being near Liverpool, it is actually just off Leasowe, as found in Speeds 1610 map of Cheshire, pinpoints it, correctly lying just off Leasowe’s shoreline. It is said that many others have been swept away to their doom, after hearing the mermaids beautiful tune. But doe’s she still sing today....?
