Lord Neloson "Cottages" are, I believe behind the Lord nelson Pub.

There was a The Bay Horse Hotel, which was situated between Knotty Ash Station and Eaton Rd.

thanks Mart I saw the photo of the Bayhorse on your site

There is a Lord Nelson pub now on Prescot Road and across in Sprinfield Park, Nelson's Monument/obelisk. There is a Greyhound pub, but not grey horse? But - there is a black horse pub too of course. This on the 1908 Edwardian map.

thanks Ged,I've looked on maps & in books but can't find any mention of greyhorse apart from the census

Hi Mart,
The Lord Nelson cottages where next to the Lord Nelson pub on East Prescot Rd and ran the full length to Rudyard Rd just before Sainsbury,s , the cottages to the rear of the Lord Nelson are St Annes Cottages, all housed Joseph Jones,s brewery workers, there was another pub The Turks Head which stood on the now site of Windsors shoeshop.

thanks Dot,I'm at Alder Hey tomorrow so I might have a nose around...I did see a very old street sign for St Anne's cottage last time I looked but didn't have my camera
