Wallasey, Coastal town in Wirral Peninsula, England.
Located at the northeastern tip of the Wirral Peninsula, Wallasey extends along the River Mersey with districts including Egremont, Liscard, and New Brighton.
The name Wallasey originates from Germanic language elements, where 'Walha' referred to Britons or Welshmen, while 'ey' indicated an elevated area among marshlands.
The town developed from a farming community into a residential area favored by Liverpool merchants and sea captains during the 19th century expansion.
Wallasey connects to Liverpool through the Kingsway Tunnel and multiple railway stations, with regular transport services operating throughout the metropolitan area.
Horse races organized for the Earls of Derby on Leasowe sands during the 16th and 17th centuries influenced the development of modern horse racing.
