Nice Pic Taffy, I'm no longer 'local; BUT! I still say Sefton Park IS in Aigburth!!!Cheers!
Its both. L17 and L8.
I've never understood how this misapprehension about Sefton Park being in Aigburth arose. I've wondered if it was something to do with the old tram labelling system which was signed Aigburth but stopped at Aigburth Vale on the Garston/Toxteth boundary. Much the same seems to have happened with the area called Penny Lane in for example the Beatles song of the same name. These days of course Allerton Rd shops area has morphed to actually being in Allerton which again it isn't.Nice Pic Taffy, I'm no longer 'local; BUT! I still say Sefton Park IS in Aigburth!!!
The land for Sefton Park was bought from the Earl of Sefton's Toxteth Park Estate. Aigburth is a suburb of Garston township and no part of it was historically in Toxteth. Even the current local council street signs confirm the correct location of Aigburth
I always think of it as being L8.

Nice one Joe.
Sefton Park
Strange is'nt it! I lived in Lark Lane area for a number of years and the postal district was L17. Sefton Park is much more closer to Aigburth Vale at the south end to, and at the north end closer to Lodge Lane which was L8!! So I guess it just depends on what part of Liverpool you came from that allows you to claim the Park as 'your area'!!!
My wife always says she lived in Allerton, But I say Springwood Ave is in Garston!!! we have some fascinating 'discussions' on this subject.Cheers All!
Norm your wife is right. She lived in Allerton. Modern post codes have nothing to do with district boundaries. Even Allerton cemetery has an L19 post codeStrange is'nt it!
