They owe me a spell book you see?

Seems Druid;s Cross might be Wavertree though despite the area closer to Allerton. I found a link about an old girls school In Druid's cross and It said Wavertree after the writing.
There is no Druids connection with Druid's Cross Rd as far as I know. The street was named after a house and estate of the same name which occupied the area in the 19th C.
Druid's Cross Rd forms the Wavertree township boundary in this part of Liverpool. This has been discussed earlier in the Wavertree thread. I think the school you refer to was a Girls' reformatory. I suspect it was probably in the old Druid's Cross House
Too many bars and eateries on Allerton Rd
Surely it's too late. The cat has been let out of the bag with respect to the number of caffs etc along Allerton Rd. In anycase, 10 years ago Allerton Rd was looking decidedly run down with several shops boarded up or let as charity shops. Perhaps the excess of caffs has to be the price the area pays for the absence of dereliction so common in many other Liverpool shopping areas.
Interesting to see this area coming under the Wavertree Neighbourhood for consultations purposes. This is of course correct though many think the shopping area of Allerton Rd must be in Allerton not least our erstwhile friends the much maligned estate agents
