Has your researcher sent you actual copies of his Service Record documents?
If not they are available on the Ancestry site. If you want them let me know and I will PM them to you. They show a later address in Garston.

I went to live in Spencer Street off Marsh lane all the Streets had poets names Scot, Shelley, Grey, etc I sometimes wonder if it was that that gave me the inspiration to read. The road that ran between was Peel Street Well do yeah ken John Peel with his coat so grey.Funny he wasn't a poet though!
Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

Most lists of street names have already been covered - have a browse through the pages of this thread:

I noticed some were being repeated. I have a definitive list which is in the Liverpool Street names book which I have added new inclusions to. The Paul Bolger Edwardian A-Z books also throw up some that are now abolished too.
Not so much unusual, but there are loads of streets that have me wondering 'why did they give it that name?', - 'who was he?' I've often wondered what the process of naming streets is, who decides which names to put forward and who has the final pick.
There is a street off High Park St - opposite the 'Welsh' streets - called Vronhill Street, where'd that name come from?

Together with North Hill and South Hill Streets in Liverpool 8 there are these: Foxhill St, Grinshill St, Fernhill St, Vronhill St, Pimhill St. Can't find anything that readily springs up regarding the origins of Vronhill st. Will keep looking.
I found this whilst looking though:
