This may well be Meols - there is a Great Meols and a Little Meols and in historical times the spelling has been a bit varied.

I did consider Meols, but if the last letter's an "s" it looks very different from the s in Cheshire & Lancashire.
Could be Mole, was there such a place as Mole in Cheshire in the 1800's?

Hi rolo,
Try this site for information on Meols, Hoylake, The Wirral.
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba62/feat3.shtml
Was mostly washed away - but still there in the late 18th and early 19th century.
Can't think of anywhere else it could be!!
Cheers
Keith

Could it be Moss? You know the old way of spelling double "S" as "FS"
It could be "Mofs"
The problem is WHICH Moss, and where is the tail on the "f"!!
Just a thought,
Susan Stanley

Thanks for your suggestions Gareth.
It's certainly a possibility if Mow Cop was known Mole historically.
Does anyone know if it it was still called Mole in the mid-1800's?
Cheers,
rolo
