x-in-man Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Any MHKs placed a bet on the opening date? Any Manx public placed a date on the time it gets broken? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the most inland. Next downstream, and linked, are East and West Waterloo Docks. You're confusing dock names with Merseyside area names. Princes Half Tide and both Waterloo docks are in Vauxhall, part of Liverpool. Waterloo is in Sefton, as you say, that’s beyond Seaforth, also in Sefton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 13 minutes ago, Roger Mexico said: It's off Waterloo Road Which is called Waterloo Road because it was built to serve Waterloo Dock, when it was built. Waterloo historically was called Crosby Seabank. A Hotel was opened in 1816 on the anniversary of the battle and named Waterloo Hotel. It officially became Waterloo in 1894 as an Urban District Council ( as Waterloo & Seaforth ). Before that it was Crosby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 3 minutes ago, John Wright said: Which is called Waterloo Road because it was built to serve Waterloo Dock, when it was built. Other way round it appears. This 1824 map shows the road being named that and already in position before the Waterloo Docks were built about a decade later: Which make sense as you'd expect the peak of Waterloo-naming to be just after the battle - and it leads into Regent Road which is presumable of a similar date. The suburb appears to be separately named after a hotel that opened there in 1816. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
