I believe the actual site of this Battle is still unknown but Wikipedia states The Battle of Brunanburh was fought in 937AD, by an Anglo-Saxon army under the command of Æthelstan, King of England, and his brother Edmund against the combined Viking armies of Olaf III Guthfrithson, the Norse-Gael King of Dublin, Constantine II, King of Scots, and Owen I, King of Strathclyde. The location of the battlefield is unknown and has been the subject of lively debate among historians since at least the 17th century. Over forty locations have been proposed, from the south-west of England to Scotland, although most historians agree that a location in northern England is the most plausible. Currently popular theories include Bromborough on the Wirral and Barnsdale Bar, north of Doncaster, but in the absence of convincing material evidence the location of the battlefield can only remain a matter of conjecture. Nice Video of close to where I live though!

The family moved out of Bromborough in 1962 just when the Bulldozers were Decimating Bromborough woods ( park ) I could say a lot more about the history, but there would be little interest in 2023
