Townships in England are local divisions or districts, smaller than a hundred.
Looking at Liverpool, they conveniently coincide with the well known village centres and suburbs that we know today. This map lets you explore the local histories of these places, as well as the centre of Liverpool itself.
Historic Parishes (1851)
This is a map of all the parishes in the Liverpool area and slightly beyond, as they were in 1851. There are also some Anglican churches from the era.
You can see details about when they were built (and demolished) when that information is known.
Old Streets of Liverpool
This is a map of all the old streets of Liverpool within the boundary of Queens Drive, as they were before vast swathes were demolished in the 20th century.
You can search for a road using the box in the top left of the map.
Hello, I hope you can help me find a road in Liverpool that my Aunt lived in a Prefab in 7 KILVEY ROAD. FAZAKERLEY. LIVERPOOL. 9. It was one of the last prefabs to survive and I remember that it seemed to be like a Tardis inside. My Cousin gave me this address but I can’t find it anywhere.
Hi Susan,
I can’t find a definite reference anywhere, but I’ve read that there were some Fazakerley pre-fabs on the site which is the now Co-Op these days. On this old map there are a handful of unlabelled roads on the site. Could Kilvery be one of them?

Thank you Martin for your help. The prefabs could well have been where you suggest as my cousin who lived in one with his parents said that he knows the road where they lived was just off the Longmoor Road. I suppose because the prefabs were only meant to be temporary so the road names weren’t noted down.
Grateful Thanks.
Susan
