Mossley Hill Borders

[bdm]

What is the border between Mossley Hill and Allerton? Likewise, what's the dividing line with Wavertree?

Mossley Hill is an area that spreads over parts of the old townships of Wavertree, Allerton and Garston. Technically it has no defined borders. Recently Liverpool City Council has put some district signs up for Mossley Hill having previously denied its existence but the rationale for their location is obtuse. Indeed at least one has been relocated. The only real defined boundary would be that for SS Matthew and James, and St Barnabas parish churches, both in Mossley Hill. See parish boundaries here:

The dividing line between Allerton and Wavertree townships runs down the middle of Rose Lane.

Hi BDM

This one keeps cropping up in the Wavertree - Edge Hill thread, it seems it's as clear as mud
