HELBRE, a headland and islets in Cheshire. The headland is the western point of the Wirral peninsula, at the mouth of the Dee, 7½ miles W by S of Birkenhead. The islets are a group of rocks, 1 mile W of the headland; and the largest of them, called Great Helbre, was once a Roman station, and has now two beacons to mark the Swash channel, between the Hoyle sands, leading into Hoylake roadstead.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
