Much the same seems to have happened with the area called Penny Lane in for example the Beatles song of the same name. These days of course Allerton Rd shops area has morphed to actually being in Allerton which again it isn't.

The land for Sefton Park was bought from the Earl of Sefton's Toxteth Park Estate. Aigburth is a suburb of Garston township and no part of it was historically in Toxteth. Even the current local council street signs confirm the correct location of Aigburth

A lot of relabelling is happening to parts of Liverpool. I didn't know that Crown street is now part of Dingle according to some sites. Linnet Lane is another example ,I read that it is historically part of Toxteth but now it is classed as Aigburth.

So I guess it just depends on what part of Liverpool you came from that allows you to claim the Park as 'your area'!!!:unibrow:
My wife always says she lived in Allerton, But I say Springwood Ave is in Garston!!! we have some fascinating 'discussions' on this subject.:PDT_Aliboronz_11: Cheers All!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

yes, because we always approached the park from the Lodge lane we'd think of it as L8. but of course the park goes over towards Aigburth.

Ha, you're gonna give me a big 'ead. I reckon people gotta be sick of me best mate now. I try to stop and then I think Oh, that's a good 'un. I'll try and stop. I aint been out with me new camera yet, been too busy at work. If I go out with the girls all I get is "Aw eh dad, you're making a show of us" Think that's why I like it.

The Mother of all Parliaments 17.11.09

A picture of the Mother of all Parliaments. I think this is a fantastic building. I was told once, while visiting there that there are no straight lines in the whole building. Could well be true. This isn't the building the Guy Fawkes tried to blow up. it's as beautiful inside as it is out.

Hi Pablo

I also like the photograph because this is part of Liverpool that I have grown to know best on the past couple of visits to the 'Pool when Donna and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza just out of shot to the left of this photie.

The hotel was recommended to me by an American Liverpool FC fan, ironically enough, and we made out well there both visits.

The only disappointment was on the first stay there in May 2007 when I ordered scouse in the bar and found the meat to be tough. Although possibly I should have known better considering my experience in earlier years in regard to British cuts of meat... generally inferior to what we get over here in the US of A, as you probably know.

Is that a DIY life preserver? Perhaps it for the lonely would-be suicide?

First time I was in the States, I asked for a steak and was brought a forest on a plate. I told the waiter that I had ordered the steak and he said that it was my side salad. They certainly look after you over there.
The meat over there is certainly better than here, no idea why it's so poor over here though.
