HUDC Handbook: Difference between revisions
→Page 20
Line 125:
The area covered by the "old parchment map" of Hoole Heath can be identified by the roads and the field boundaries as being that on which much housing was built after WW2, and roads show include [[Hoole Road]], Pipers Lane and Hoole Lane. It is also marked on the fold-out map by a rectangle.
==Conclusions==
As a work on the history of Hoole the Handbook makes a number of significant errors and while it indicates that the writer had access to some historical works he evidently does not us them well, and seems entirely ignorant (or purposely ignores) some parts of the history and topography of Hoole. He should have known where Flookersbrook flowed, who Finchett-Maddock was and omits much of the history relating to his somewhat selective subject-matter. Baldwin the ballonist gets no mention nor Lady Broughton and he has Malcom III seemingly at the gates of Chester. Nelson apparently strolls around Hoole, and the author is utterly confused over Bishops. Some of his facts are correct but the errors make this an unreliable source for things not confirmed elsewhere.
