Maps of Liverpool

Anyone know where Phoebe Anne Street got its name and does anyone have a map with it included on it.

Very basic in the streets and some are not listed but generally its a start. ;-)

Bottom right is Anglesey with Beaumaris shown unrealistically on the north coast... never mind. Scotland is on the left (north) with what is supposed to be Hadrian's Wall the castellated line running diagonally toward the bottom, the Lake District just to the right of that with Workington visible on the coast and the Isle of Man ("Insula de man") offshore, partly off the map. The curvy lines you asked about are the rivers so the next curvy line to the left or north of Liverpool is the Ribble with Cockersand Abbey with the steeple on the coast and Lancaster and Preston visible and "Amounderness" hundred noted in the rectangle. The big place in the middle of the map or more correctly top center right marked "Eboracum" is the Latin name for York with the rivers shown and nearby places like Ripon and Knaresborough marked. Dave, I hope this explanation helps!

Hi Chris...yes,it did. Thanks! :) I had another look and spotted some recognisable names also,so I think I know where I am now!

Dave.

This is from a book published in 1657 the days before they had snappy titles - "A BOOK of the NAMES of all Parishes, Market Towns, Villages, Hamlets and the smallest Places in England and Wales - Alphabetically set down, as they be in every Shire with the Names of the Hundreds in which they are, and how many Towns there are in each Hundred."

...or as we'd call it, a Gazetteer.

I'm completely gobsmacked! Almost every time I visit this website I come
upon something interesting and rewarding!! This thread is a case in point -absolutely fascinating. I came across it quite by accident an hour ago and
followed it backwards - if I can coin a phrase - and next time follow it all
through again logically and even more painstakingly. My thanks to all for your
contributions , it's a really brilliant thread you've put together!

Thank you Stanley :)

Hiya mate just wondering do you still have the map of Gladstone rd seacombe...thanks mate

Hi there :-)

Is there anyone on here that could help me find some old map details of Wadham Road, opposite Bootle Cricket Ground. I have spent the whole night trying to find details of this, but the only advice I can come up with is to visit my local library. This sounds rather 'time consuming' and I don't really feel that it would give me the info I need (though I could be wrong yeah?) .

The reason for my enquiry is that we believe my Mum's old house (in Wadham Rd) could be haunted, and wondered could it have something to do with what was on the site before the house was actually built (late 18th century).

My Mum and her family moved in the house in 1945, and unfortunately we have no details of who lived there before that, so even any details of how to find out this info would be a great help!!

Any help or advice you could give would be very much appreciated. :)

Many thanks ~ Sue

How about this site ?
