    Default Grey Horse Knotty Ash?

    Does anyone know where Grey Horse hamlet was?
    I'm looking for my Howard family who lived in & around Prescot Rd on various census

    there seems to be a cluster of Howard's living there too & I'm trying to connect them with mine

    one family (definetly mine) lived at Lord Nelson (Court) does anyone know where that was ?

    another lived Prescot Rd in the village or hamlet of Grey horse(1871) I've looked at maps but can't find Grey horse...I can find Black Horse or Grey Hound but not GreyHorse could it be by the brewery somewhere



    can anyone help???

    There's a Grey Horse mentioned here:

    Lord Neloson "Cottages" are, I believe behind the Lord nelson Pub.

    There was a The Bay Horse Hotel, which was situated between Knotty Ash Station and Eaton Rd.

    There is a Lord Nelson pub now on Prescot Road and across in Sprinfield Park, Nelson's Monument/obelisk. There is a Greyhound pub, but not grey horse? But - there is a black horse pub too of course. This on the 1908 Edwardian map.

    The cottages are still there. Go through the entry that is called ' LITTLE BONGS ' and the cottages are there. They run behind the Lord Nelson pub.

    I wasn't sure if it was a court because in 1871 its called Lord Nelson Court...just called Lord Nelson in 1881

    Thomas Littledale was Lord Mayor in 1826. He is noted as being part of St John's Church on Thomas Lane. So Littledales House could be his? Puts it in this area though.

    Hi Spike,
    The Bongs are at the back of the cottages on East Prescot Rd opposite Windsors shoe shop, St Annes cottages are at the rear of the Lord Nelson pub in Rudyard Close, there is an old weather worn sign to the side of no 1 St Annes Cotts built 1882 not sure of the date for the Bongs

    Your right Dot.

    You can get to the cottages at the side of Sainsbury's next to the Lord Nelson Pub.

    The excerpt you quoted earlier does not mention Grey Horse Hamlet. I suppose there might have been a farm stead named after an Anglo Saxon, it then became an inn then a pub, but the name stuck?

    Looked on a 1906 map but not much is listed by name aaargh.

    Funny enough there are Littledales Cottages listed further up towards Queens Drive Old Swan.
