A request!
If you were to enter Stanley Park from Anfield Road, you would walk down a path that splits two playing fields in half, and leads you all the way down to the crematorium on Priory Road.
Jesus. Most of us have walked or played on it at one time or another.
It's a straight, yet unremarkable path through the park, but how many of you realise that it has an official name?
You'll find that name on some maps, yet not on others.
It's name, I here you ask? --- Mill Lane.
Now I have maps of the Anfield area going back to about 1900, but something has always bugged me.
Stanley Park was opened in 1870. Anfield crematorium was opened circa 1861, but what was there before?
I've always presumed that prior to the park being laid down in 1870, there must of actually been a thoroughfare in that spot, called Mill Lane, in fact, there might of been an actual mill in the area at one point, and they just kept the name. It would stand to reason.
So, to the request.
Has anyone got, or has access to a map of the Anfield area, prior to 1870, and or if possible, prior to 1860?
