Cheadle Avenue and Stanley

[edwardo]

Can anyone tell me if Cheadle Avenue is still there and what district it comes or came under? Thanks.

Cheadle Avenue is here

It is in Old Swan and has a L13 postcode if that helps?

[steveb]

Yes it is off Green lane L13 which is Old Swan

The district is not Old Swan, it is Stanley. St. Anne's Stanley is on the Prescot Rd. corner.

To be honest, I get confused with all these boundaries. As far as I am concerned, and to keep it simple, the said road is in Old Swan.

I don't get confused at all, The district of Stanley stretches from Newsham Park gates to Green lane, it is clearly marked on maps,

So don't keep it as you say simple, keep it correct.
There used to be a dog/speedway stadium there called Stanley Stadium. Stanley abattoir was there. Where do you think they got their names?
The sign board on the church distinctly says "St. Annes Stanley". It is on the corner of Cheadle ave. and Prescot Rd.

It was Wallasey who first answered the question.
I don't see why people should get shot down in flames just because they're trying to be helpful.
So, it's in Stanley.
Big deal.

PhillipG,
I wasn't trying to shoot him down in flames as you put it. He did reply first and I was just correcting him, it was him who chose to argue about it.

I've worked in tuebrook for 17 yrs,and can honestly say that i've never heard anyone refer to "Stanley"! Probably now defunct for any practical purpose,and has similarities with "Brighton-le-Sands, near Waterloo,which most people wouldn't know, though recently there have been efforts to revive the name.

I lived in Tuebrook, Sutton St. for many years until I emigrated 25 years ago, at that time The abattoir was still in use and it was still known as Stanley Abattoir.
If it is no longer in use what is between Old Swan and Fairfield?. I really like to keep up to date so perhaps you could tell me.

I didn't choose to argue!

No one these days actually reconises Stanley as a place seeing as there is no real "hub" like there is in Old Swan or Kensington. It is only know for the abbatoir, which many people would say is a ladmark in Old Swan rather than "Stanley". I know this isnt a good example, but not even the council reconises Stanley on its boundary signs. You just flow from Fairfield into Old Swan when you go over the railway line.

However as Phill G puts it, It is just a name. Everyone has different preferences, mine are evidently different to yours.

May I ask where Stanley Market is? It seems to be outside the area where it takes its name from!

[steveb]

Isn't Stanley market the one opposite the old abattoir. My telephone
number is 226, and if you look up what exchange this is, it is Stanley
even though it is in Cherry Lane by Townsend. I have always classed
Green Lane as ether Old Swan or Tuebrook, but hey it is just names

[PhilipG]

The name Stanley is the family name of the Earl of Derby of Knowsley Hall.
Perhaps it's the socialist in me that doesn't like the idea of an area being named after one family, and it looks like the name has never taken with the public.
Rather like Harrington in Toxteth, named after Isabella, Countess of Harrington.

This is the last I will say on the subject, I will email the vicar and tell him you guys have done away with his parish, I am sure he will be pleased.
