Has anyone any information about the 'Economic' in Garston liverpool.  Was it a factory?  I have a relative who according to a diary, worked at the Economic during 1921 he was a plumber.

The Garston Historical Society has a publication on the Economic Housing Estate which is partly in Allerton and partly in Garston. The dividing line being roughly the railway line

Hi
I am trying locate where Gerrads Cottages, Garston was in Liverpool?
My g g grandfather lived there in 1881 but can not find where it is today.
I have a fabulous street map of Liverpool dated 1836 but it is the city centre through the docks up to Everton Valley and just past Upper Parliament Street it doesn't go as far as Garston.
Would love to go and see what is now where Gerrads Cottages were. My mum remembers her mum talking about her grandfather and the cows in the fields etc... difficult to imagine now!! Oh and my grandmother always said she was a Garstonian not from Liverpool as it was separate in those days!
Cal :)

Gerrard's Cottages, Garston were off Victoria Rd, Aigburth Vale, Garston
see   www.garstonhistoricalsociety.org.uk for map on first page

sorry everybody but I have never heard of Irwell St/george Terrace/gordon terrace or Stananought Cottages...and from everyones research I am a little bemused as to why they are classed as Garston when they are clearly in Aigburth...and don`t forget that in between Garston and Aigburth we have Cressington and also Grassendale....Garston wasn`t classed as being part of Liverpool until 1906 (might have been 1903) so I am a little baffled....sorry I couldn`t help...allan

The important thing to note is that when the census data refers to Garston, it is refering to the township of Garston and not the central village. Until its absorption into Liverpool in 1902, all the people living in the Garston Township paid their local taxes to Garston Urban District Council. This includes those people living in the Garston districts of Aigburth vale, Aigburth, Grassendale and Cressington etc. For a map showing the boundaries of the township of Garston, go to
