I am not sure that the name "Springwood" necessarily describes the geography where the house called Springwood is located. More likely the name was given to the property by the first family that lived there, the Shand family, and they might have brought it from another area of the country. A book of 1845 called
Art-Union Vol. 7 lists T. H. R. Shand Esq. as living at "Spring-wood, Allerton, Liverpool" so the name is definitely attributable to the Shand family and not the Brocklebank family. This may not mean much but there is a
Dr. David Shand of The Chamber of Occupational Medicine,
Springwood House, Chichester, West Sussex. I don't know if the building is old or relatively new. If it is new, he may have named it that because "Springwood" is a family name. Just a thought.
All the best
