Following my original text, I anticipated a discussion so naturally all replies are welcome. However I take issue firstly in respect of the signs supposedly based on ward boundaries, I thought that too. But where does that place Belle Vale which is now a ward but still ignored. And where does that place the Vauxhall area, which actually used to be a ward but is now under Kirkdale, but the signs say Everton. Confused?

As for sub areas, I half agree as I do not believe Granby is an area it is just a local term. Like Sparrow Hall. But come on, Vauxhall historically was an old ward (alongside Exchange) and part of 'old Liverpool'. Everton and Kirkdale were quite seperate before Liverpool expanded. I.e. Boundary Street is the old boundary between Liverpool and Kirkdale. And back to Belle Vale, YES it is a small area and not 'ancient' but in my book it merits being called a district. It has enough ameneties in the area.
