Landican
Landican is a hamlet on the Wirral Peninsula, England. It is situated on the outskirts of Birkenhead, near to Woodchurch and the M53 motorway. Landican consists of a small group of cottages and farm buildings. At the 2001 Census the community had a population of only 20.
In 1085, Landican was recorded in the Domesday Book as Landechene. The name possibly derives from Llan diacon, meaning "church of the deacon", with the llan- prefix being of Welsh origin. However, it does not have a parish church and probably refers to Woodchurch.
The hamlet was a township in Woodchurch Parish of the Wirral Hundred and was added to Birkenhead civil parish in 1933. The population was 45 in 1801, 57 in 1851 and 71 in 1901.
