"Lifeboats were stationed on Hilbre Island from 1848 to 1938.They were crewed by Hoylake volunteers and could launch at any state of tide". Source: RNLI Facebook Hoylake Lifeboat Station
The remains of the station can be visited today at the north end of the island. You can clearly see the stone fireplace and the old slipway. Very atmospheric.
