I have been reading this conversation. Technically of course, Waterways, you are correct and historically those areas are part of the original Royal hunting preserve of Toxteth Park as set up in the reign of King John. But areas change with time and usage, and I don't think you can view Penny Lane or Wavertree as being still part of Toxteth now. Similarly, Liverpool and much of Lancashire as far as Wigan and Winwick was part of
West Derby Hundred as described in the Domesday Book, but you wouldn't say Liverpool or Wigan are part of West Derby now.
