Max is only 20 so it was probably Oxford St. Marernity Hospital, not exactly Toxteth but close by.

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

I don't think it was, I'll ask my sis next time I talk to her in about 2 weeks, she is going away today. She was an administrator there untill she retired about 5 years ago.

The Southern Hospital and the Royal Infirmary both closed in 1978 when the new Royal Liverpool Hospital opened.
Sefton General closed after Max was born.
What area is the original poster interested in?
As somebody else said, Toxteth's a large area, but according to the new street signs Toxteth starts at the old Gaumont cinema in Park Road!
I've lived in the Dingle since 1991, and a lot of new housing has gone up in the area.
(In a lot of cases to replace housing that had replaced the terraced streets)
I don't agree that the Dingle is a ghetto.
Chris - see www.mersey-gateway.org for information about all the hospitals in Liverpool, when they were opened and what happened to them. the Liverpool Women's Hospital has all the old founders stones inside mounted into the walls - including the Lying-in Hospital and Almshouses - worth a look.
New signs. Not too long ago the sign "Toxteth" was at Aigburth Vale, where it actually starts. The Toxteth.net site indicates the "exact boundary".
It certainly is not.I've lived in the Dingle since 1991, and a lot of new housing has gone up in the area.

The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

Don't like Dingle that much.
Nearly every time I'm down there a police car is certainly out after someone and the amount of teenage girls pushing prams is mad down there!
