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.

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
