Hale, sometimes known as Hale Village, is a village and civil parish in the far south of Lancashire. It sits on the northern bank of the tidal River Mersey, around 10 miles south-east of Liverpool city centre. Around 2½ to the west is Speke and Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Across the Mersey to the south-east, it faces the confluence with the Weaver, Frodsham Marshes and the surrounding hills in Cheshire.
Hale is notably home to Hale Point, on which a lighthouse overlooks a bend in the Mersey, which is the southernmost point in Lancashire. Also in the village is Manor House, a 17th century country house and former vicarage. John Middleton, a reputedly 9ft tall resident of the village in the 16th-17th centuries sometimes known as the Childe of Hale, is commemorated by a bronze statue in the village.[1]
