Just saw someone mention the Mystery and thought about other local names for places that you won't find on the map.

I live by the Holy Land

Stab in the dark here. Is that off Park Road in L8?

Jacob St, Isaac St. Moses St. etc...

Is Canny by the Farm ?

The Welsh Streets have already been done

Here's one you should now.

Old Nick's Cave.

Yes. I've been inside the caves.

North end of Sefton Park. Just over the road in front of the tower blocks.

Time for me to admit that I don't understand what Old Nick's cave is about. I'm familiar with the area, which for all of my youth was fenced off I think, but I don't know any background at all guys.

I wasn't sure. I'm a northender, so I've only known a bit more on the south of the city since meeting my beloved.

The Cinder path.

Cinder path runs from Speke road to Banks road. Next to the Matchy's woodyard yard and the gasworks.

As a kid we'd go to Garston Baths and the chippy next door but never ventured under the Bridge.

Rumour was there were rockers and Teddy Boys there with bicycle chains and flick knives.

Garston baths used to put boards across the pool and hold dances there. There was always murder with the Teddy boys and they were known as "Garston Blood Baths".

The dances were just before my time but that must have been the background, having said that whilst we were running around in our Wranglers, Ben Shermans or Fred Perrys and comos in 1967 the standard dress code Under the Bridge still has more than a whiff of the '50s.

Bit off topic but takes me back to the 70's' when we used to fight Dodge at the old Aintree railway sheds. We were the Vale Boot Boys. And we usually got ran 😆

Brother of one of my mates started living with a girl in Dodge in one of the maisonettes. I was shitting it that my bike would get robbed, but apparently the leader of the Hells Angels lived round the corner so no-one would touch any bikes.
