Wavertree - Edge Hill Areas

[SteH]

Been there done that, lost a day out of my life!

You start at the Coffee House and work your way down....

Lamb
Clock
Barley Mow
Town Hall
Cock and Bottle
Thatched
Cuffs
Chillies
....and so on. When you get to Wavertree Road/Tunnel Road you could branch off or carry on. Carry on and you'd get (Mole of Edge Hill - gone) Bears Paw...and in to town.

Grinfield street side you had the Oxford/Tunnels Bar...and so on.

First one to pass out wins

You must also do a slight diversion to the Edinburgh though

Lovely houses Marie.

I was jokin´!! This is not my house (about the 5 picture), my house its smallest than the other house!!
In Church St. are a lot of big and beauties houses. I usually walk about this street, when I went to Penny Lane area.

Canning I think.

[taffy]

Canning I think.

Canning is I think a fairly modern invent as a district name. The historical name for the area was Abercromby, named after Abercromby Square and the ex council ward of the same name. There is an Abercromby Health Centre on I believe Grove St

Max, the Edge Hill boundary is Crown St. So Abercromby Square is within the old Liverpool boundaries and is in the Abercromby District. The council do have an Edge Hill district sign on Grove St but this simpy marks the one street L7 post code boundary and is nothing to do with Edge Hill real boundaries as such.

Abercromby Sqaure Is past Crown Street though.

[Ged]

I think Taffy means that the area East of Crown st is Edge Hill. Abercromby Square is city centre side of Crown St and its continuation, Grove St.

I do know of Abercromby being a council district but someone who I know who lives in Canning Street considers it to be Toxteth-ish.

Canning Street is in L8. It has never been in Toxteth. In my experience most people who were born in L8 tend to use the postcode to refer to the area they are from, with the exception of the Dingle area. (People say they are from the Dingle). I always think of the part of L8 north of Upper Parliament Street as part of 'town'. It's currently being marketed under a range of guises (Canning, Georgian, Hope Street, Cultural, Cathedral ...). My bet is that it will end up as 'town'. People I know who live in that area tend to say they are from Canning Street, Catherine Street - whatever Street, and provide no further explanation!

That's right. I've known a lot of people born and bred around L'pool 8 - in roads including Falkner, Canning, Huskisson, Hope st, Stanhope st.
No matter what the official boundaries were or are, they always said that they were from L'pool 8 - never saying Toxteth (which only became in usage by the media after the riots - and no one had ever heard of it being called the 'Georgian Quarter either !!

It seems to be popular to call it 'Tocky' these days - usually by the youth.


Dingle. people from Dingle usually say they are from Dingle and don't refer to it as anything else.
