But over the border in Knowsley (at Page Moss) are some of the Liverpool Corporation Overspill Estates.

Was there a tramline running up Princess Drive??? I know Page Moss was a big interchange for the trams, but I don't know much about the routes.

Well spotted. I've not seen this sign either. Red Cross Street got truncated post WW2 German aerial bombing of the area. It used to lead up to near the Queen Victoria Memorial

Red Cross street is still there in part and in my ten year old A-Z. Pics of this and Ogden's Weint, Prison Weint and Litherland Alley are on my site below.
