About the Business
Prenton was originally 'Prestune', a Celtic name meaning a forest 3 miles wide by 3 miles long The local Celts, were known as Cornovii, and are known to have been foresters and farmers. Given the location on the Wirral they would have had an abundance of local produce.
The Saddle Club was part of a larger farm called lower farm. The farm was tied to nearby Prenton Hall which is listed in the Doomsday Book. Starting life as a winter shelter tucked down below a shallow ridge, then changing to a Small Mill and eventually to a full working farm, with a large selection of live stock. It stayed like this for many years until the late 1950s, moving full over to a Riding stables. Sadly in the 1970s the farm was sold off and broken up in to separate areas.
The inside of the building is full of fantastic 'olde worlde' features with a fantastic vaulted ceiling in the Main bar. Black Beams with White Daub walls throughout the rest of the club.
