John Brodie, city engineer in the early 1900s has a Blue Plaque erected to him in Ullet Road.
Aside from having invented the goal net in football, he made major contributions to improving roads in the area, including the provision of ring roads and the East Lancs road and the design of Liverpool's electric tram scheme.
