Thanks for the quick replies guys.

During a quick 10 minute scoot around the net when on my lunch I found numerous mentions of William Shand and Springwood House.
Here's a quote from a Liverpool street name site
Springwood Avenue
The name derives from Springwood House, built by William Shand, an owner of plantations in the West Indies, who called it after his Antigua home. The drawing room and library were said to have been copies of rooms in Windsor castle.
The Maghull Group web site says it was built by Sir Thomas Brocklebank but then I found this:-
Springwood
Built by William Shand, a West India merchant. Named after his estate in Jamaica. While being built he sold it to Sir Thomas Brocklebank, ship owner.
