Thanks

Expert? Moi? Naaaaa but thanks all the same! In all the research I've done on Childwall, I've never come across a description for Rocky Lane like the Council have given it. It's certainly an old road, showing on the 1849 map I have. I am convinced that the name is original for the road seeing as there was a Rock Cottage at the top of Rocky Lane.
Here's an interesting picture sourced:
