I remember a park called Gwendolyn Park but I can’t find it - anyone know if it still exists?
David Replied on Mon, Mar 30, 2020 at 12:14pm
I can't find anything about a Gwendolyn Park but there is Spinney Hill Park at the junction of Gwendolen Road and East Park Road. There is also Evington Park at the back of Leicester General Hospital.

There used to be more open space and playing fields in Gwendolen Road around the school and Crown Hill House in the fifties and sixties.
Jeannette Replied on Tue, Jun 30, 2020 at 6:20pm
Gwendolen Road was so called by the Victorian architect , mayor and Town planner Arthur Wakerley after his daughter Gwendolen , along with adjoining roads Constance, Dorothy , and Margaret respectively after some of his other children.

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?)
