Picture of the Day November 2009

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

A lot of relabelling is happening to parts of Liverpool. I didn't know that Crown street is now part of Dingle according to some sites. Linnet Lane is another example ,I read that it is historically part of Toxteth but now it is classed as Aigburth.

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!

yes, because we always approached the park from the Lodge lane we'd think of it as L8. but of course the park goes over towards Aigburth.

Ha, you're gonna give me a big 'ead. I reckon people gotta be sick of me best mate now. I try to stop and then I think Oh, that's a good 'un. I'll try and stop. I aint been out with me new camera yet, been too busy at work. If I go out with the girls all I get is "Aw eh dad, you're making a show of us" Think that's why I like it.

A picture of the Mother of all Parliaments. I think this is a fantastic building. I was told once, while visiting there that there are no straight lines in the whole building. Could well be true. This isn't the building the Guy Fawkes tried to blow up. it's as beautiful inside as it is out.
