I live in Blackboy Lane (and lovely it is). The reason for the name is nothing to do with the slave trade, or people of colour. It derives from the name of the inn that stood at the end of it. Like most inns with such a name the derivation dates back to the English Civil War and the flight of Charles II via Shoreham, a little further up the coast. Charles had the nickname "The Black Boy" on account of his swarthy complexion, and this survives in the names of inns and roads. As he passed through Runcton, very close to here, it's not beyond belief that Charles took temporary refuge in the inn in Fishbourne. Unfortunately the inn is no longer, but the building survives as rented apartments - one of which is the King Charles II room.

Unfortunately, there are some who wish to get the name changed, not understanding its origin. Perish the thought that our heritage should disappear because of ignorant do-gooders. Along with my four King Charles Cavaliers I will fight the notion of any change!

Napps Way

15th April 2024

Why is the road called Napps Way (belonging to Napp, but minus an
apostrophe as is usual with such nomenclature)? Moreover, who or
what is, or was, “Napp” in the respective, possessive case?

Several years ago, I met an elderly man (probably in his late-eighties)
who lives on Bentham Drive, Liverpool 16, and during a conversation
with him whilst in a Northwest Passenger Transport Ambulance on the
way to the former RLUH (Royal Liverpool University Hospital), he told
me that he could remember (when he was a boy, living in Childwall,
Liverpool 16) that, “Where Napps Way is now, during WW2, there was
a two-man gun emplacement on the, then, open land to protect the
railway line passing over Childwall Valley Road - next to the railway
bridge - when suddenly, as they were loading a live “shell” into the gun’s
breach, the aforementioned “shell” accidentally exploded in the gun’s
breach killing both of the two soldiers, that had been manning the gun,
instantly! (Very sad, of course, but could - perhaps - two ghosts relating
to those two, very unfortunately and prematurely-killed soldiers have
haunted that place of their deaths ever since - and have any residents
of Napps Way - formerly and in its latest incarnation - seen two, WW2
(uniformed) soldiers unexpectedly appear in or near their homes?)
