Hi Jane you are right they are schedule numbers.
Just had a look through, the route was Marshside Lane / Nelly Bakers Lane / Knobb Hall Lane / Bank Nook / Sea Cop / Then back to Marshside Lane then onto Shellfield Road where they start to use house numbers.

So Germaine has said it twice now...Nelly Baker's Lane! I didn't realise that there was yet another person with a street named for them. Does anyone know who Nelly Baker was.

Perhaps we should campaign for the proper name to be reinstated...after all we still have Cockle Dick's Lane. Any idea when it changed its name?

So it's not worth me checking those addresses if they were not the house numbers...shame.

I wonder if it was what is now Bakers Lane looks to be the right area on the map.
Yes wonder who she was.

That looks logical - Nelly Bakers Lane sounds so much better - I'm with you Dotty, it should be reinstated.

I have no idea who she was.

I think we should start a campaign - these 'local' names are much more interesting! From Bland:
April 17 1844: Died, aged 86, Ann, widow of Robert Rimmer; April 20, aged 84, Ellen, wife of John Baker; and April 21st, aged 84, William Johnson, all of North Meols. They were all natives and got their living from fishing. They had lived all their lives within a mile of each other.

Wonder if that's her?

Yes Bez it would be nice if they reinstated old names they sound much nicer more of a history about them.

That looks promising doesn't it SeaCop. I wonder if at first they had the only cottage on the lane and that is how it got it's name.
