Taffy Quote:
Wavertree is a delightful area and is really much more than the historic High Street area. Did you know the original Wavertree township extended as far as Druid's Cross Rd? I only wish the whole of the High St street could have an aesthetic make over to remove much of the 20th C over enthusiastic use of garish paint and signs. Here are a few photos I took a couple of years ago including one of the now lost, due to vandalism, pillar box on Sandown Lane End Quote

Max quote When did Druid's Cross become part of Allerton? End Quote
Druids Cross Rd was never in Allerton and isn't today. The township boundary between Wavertree and Woolton runs down the middle of Druid's Cross Road. The Allerton boundary runs down the middle of Green Lane , then skirts along Calderstones Rd. There's even an old Council sign saying "Allerton" at the junction of Menlove Ave and Crompton's lane. Yes this sign is in the right place but then its been there many years. Interestingly there is a boundary stone marker in Green Lane, Mossley Hill marking the separation of Wavertree from Allerton
