    Some people who are ignorant of facts presume that those facts do not exist even when evidence is present. Ooops I was supposed to shut up about it.

    Nobody's disputing that the people in Stanley know what it is called, but it has to be admitted that outside of Stanley it must be one of the least known areas of Liverpool.
    There was even a cinema before the First World War called the Stanley Hall. (The building's still there).

    The Stanley pub was surrounded by scaffolding when I passed in June...I don't know what's going to happen to it though.

    For what it's worth, i've always known the abbatoir, market and Church in that area as being preceded with 'Stanley' though I have to admit that if anyone asked me where they were, i'd refer them to the Old Swan district as Stanley is largely unknown outside of that area, yet Fairfield, lower down towards Kensington is known because of the Police club and grounds.

    I can see both sides of this :

    I am sure the people of Stanley know it's definately there !!


    I must admit though that I didn't know there was a district known as Stanley.
    If anyone had asked me directions I would say '' never heard of it, do you mean Stanley Park ? I only know that there is a place called Stanley in or near Wigan.''

    Of course I know Old Swan and Kensington running down towards Fairfield.

    I have heard of the abattoir being officially known as Stanley Abattoir -- but I didn't give it a second thought. I didn't know that the name refered to the district.

    Newsham park should have been called 'Stanley Park' seeing that it is nearer to the actual district. Newsham park must have come into existance after Stanley Park had already been named.

    There must be a few little known districts in the Merseyside area. ie; Little Bongs !!

    Part of Anfield can be called 'Walton on the Hill -- but no one ever refers to it as being that.



    No one I know ever refers to Harrington either.

    Never did I dispute that Stanley didn't exist. I was making a point that the name's still used by the Liverpool Education Authority.

    Neither am I disputing Little Bongs, I'm just posting a picture showing that the name's still being used.



    And whilst we're on the subject of names that are falling / have fallen by the wayside. I currently live in an area of West Derby that used to be known as Mill Yard.

    These disappearing names are fascinating.

    Can anyone think of any others ?

    .. and can anyone think of any new names.

    This is two streets up from Cheadle Avenue.

    Stoneycroft is another name around there that seems to have been lost.

    My most recent A-Z (about 2 years old) shows Stanley (directly over the Market area) and also shows area caleld Sandown Park (directly over Sandown rd) and Victoria Park just north of Wavertree High Street. Elm Park is also shown on the Shiel Road/Prescot Road junction and Swanside between Knotty Ash and Dovecot.
