Hi Red

First of all Stananought Cottages were not in Garston, but in Aigburth. They were in the what used to be the old village of Aigburth in Aigburth Vale, these houses locally known as the `Terraces`, were demolished about 1965.
I used to live in 18 Gordon Terrace until they were demolished. Gordon Terrace was divided by an alleyway which we used to call `The Entry`. One half was numbered 1-22 and the top half numbered 23-42, this half used to be called Stananought Cottages pre 1905. So named after a local dignitary.

Just thought I would add My 2'apth:

I can remember (within the last 15Yrs) seeing a Sign on the centre reservation at Aigburth Road, just past the Vale that said:

You are now Entering 'GARSTON'.

As far as I concerned, the only reason everyone thinks Gaston does.nt go that far is because the City Council is Always changing the Road Signs (for Socio-Political reasons!

My son and I have just driven back from Liverpool (avoiding the bridge) and I  noticed the official sign saying "Garston" is opposite the Cricket Club. I quite agree with Garstonite about Grassendale and Cressington, having been brought up to say I lived in Grassendale, claytonbradley

I`m 59 and as long as I can remember the GARSTON sign next to the cricket club has always been there....allan

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

My great great grandfather was James Stananought (1803 – 1870).
In the 1841 census he is recorded as living in “Aigbuth hamlet, Township of Garston”.
In the 1861 census he is recorded as living in Aigburth Vale with profession of “Builder with 8 men and 7 boys”. 

He is buried in Toxteth (Smithdown Road) Cemetery, grave N362 with other members of his family.       

The inscription on the gravestone reads “James Stananought, builder of Aigburth”’

I am not sure for certain, but it looks highly likely that he built Stananought Cottages.

Regarding Aigburth/Garston, at the north corner of Ashfield Road and the old bit of Aigburth Road, outside the old (NatWest?) bank there are a pair of boundary stones.  The left one is inscribed TTP and the right one TG.  TTP is the Township of Toxteth Park and TG is the Township of Garston.
From memory, the boundary cuts across the corner to Aigburth Vale then runs up Aigburth Vale.
