Pub named after radio broadcaster

Residents chose the pub's name

A pub named after radio legend John Peel has been opened in the Wirral town where he was born.

The Ravenscroft pub, which features a large portrait of the late Radio 1 DJ, is housed in a former post office and health club in Heswall.

The broadcaster, who died in 2004, was born John Robert Parker Ravenscroft in 1939.

The new pub, which cost £800,000, was given the name following suggestions from local residents.
