Street Names of the City of Liverpool

Was Battenburg Street named after a cake, a prince or a battle?

What do Old Hall Street and Bankhall Street have in common?

You can find answers to these questions and many more that might occur to you as you pass through Liverpool.

The author examines the reasons why over a thousand Liverpool streets were given the names by which we know them.  His well researched and carefully planned book presents his findings by looking at themes.

Famous local landowners, the slave trade, maritime influences, politicians, religion, royalty - all are included in the 22 categories considered by Steven.

This is a fascinating book, easy to read, full of background information and covering not only streets, but so many family names that it will be of interest to the family historian as well as the local historian.  However, you do not need to be a history student to thoroughly enjoy this excellent book.
