Well there's Kirkby, Liverpool's 60s overspill (where Z cars was shot though it was renamed newtown for the series) and there's West Kirby over t'water.



But Kerbie the game as in throwing a ball to the kerb on the opposite side of the road so it rebounded to you and you scored a point each time is what we're on about here I think It was also known as gutters, presumedly after the gutters that ran in the street to grids just roadside of the kerbs.
