Crocus.
Everybody will be checking their A to Z's, or they might have a copy of "Streets of Liverpool" which covers street names very well.
Of course, the main reason areas were grouped together under one theme was to help the postmen.

oh yes, the ferries have flower names too.

I have heard of Daisy st baths but I didn't know it was underground.

Another oddity of Daisy Street school (I don't know if this went on elsewhere) the protestants and the catholics were kept seperated at play time and had different dinner times and going home times yet a lot of the children were mates outside of school time so another instance where religion seperated people who would otherwise get on.

Thanks for the pic Ged, it all adds interest to the thread

Thanks for the pic, Ged.
Let's keep more coming, and make the threads something more than a list of names.
Remember, Kev says: "Pics, Pics Pics!!!"

Hi Ged,
My husband's Auntie lives in Harebell st & we visited a few years ago, my first time to England.
Your pic is great but I thought Harebell wasn't as level as it appears to be in the pic.

Cheers

Hiya Browniescorner.

They are all quite steep as you'll know, leading down towards Commercial Road.

Hi to all,
I am new to this site, so I am looking forward to it.
Regarding Daisy St. school, I went there and as far as I am aware it was split in two. Protestants in the top part nearer Stanley Rd and Catholics at bottom, further down the street.
We had our own playgrounds and outside loos, we did go back after 4p.m. for activities.
