Anfield Road variety
Terraced houses are synonymous with uniformity - but not so this group opposite Stanley Park, near the junction with Sleepers Hill. The black-and-white one is called Belmont Cottage and its build date of 1885 is written above the door, and below the step.

Saker Street/ Sleepers Hill junction
Three roads head east off Sleepers Hill to join it to Blessington Road. The others are Norgate and Attwood Streets. I have been unable to discover a link between these names. A saker is a kind of falcon, which provides no link. There was an actor/ manager called Edward Saker (1838-83), but I cannot find any Norgates or Attwoods with a similar background.

Bodley Street/ Sleepers Hill junction
The bit of fancy work on the end of Bodley Street may be explained by the fact that the other end of the street comes off Walton Lane, and the streets off each side are named after Victoria Architects. George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907) was a Gothic Revivalist famous for his church work. Others on the same stretch leading up to Sleepers Hill were Butterfield, Goldie, Paley and Nesfield Streets.
