The short answer is Snob Value.

Ashfield Road is the boundary for Toxteth Park, and the boundary continues through the Otterspool estate (now Otterspol Park).
I've never been sure exactly where the boundaries of Aigburth are.
Riverside Drive might be called Aigburth by the residents, and is L17, but some of it is definitely Dingle. Dingle Point and Knott's Hole are right in the middle of it!

It's a bit like the residents of Lodge Lane changing the name of their section of the road to Sefton Park Road, even though the Lodge which gave its name to the road is there (Sefton Park Road, that is).



Another sore point with me is that all the South Docks are in L3, but the rest of the area is mostly L8.
