Background
History
Before the park was established, the area was used for coal mining until the 1890s. In 1898 the Whiston Metallic Brick Works were built (known locally as Tushingham's Brickworks). When the brickworks closed in the 1970s and the site became derelict in 1976, the park was used as a landfill site for domestic refuse. This landfill site was where the unsolved Murders of John Greenwood and Gary Miller were carried out In 1983, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council began cleaning up the area and turned the site into a country park known today as Stadt Moers. The name Stadt Moers comes from Knowsley's twin town of Moers in Germany.
