This area was once a barley field known as Plumpton Park.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-23. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-05-17.
In 1842, a barley field in Speke, now a suburb of Liverpool, was known as Plumpton Park. In modern terms it was situated immediately south of Central Way and north of Dam Wood Road.
'Plumpton Park' is also the name in the Gest of Robyn Hode of an area in Wyresdale, where King Edward discovers to his chagrin that Robin Hood has severely depleted the stock of deer. This Plumpton Park is thus not identical with that in Speke, but since various other localities than that in Wyresdale have been suggested as the intended locale, IRHB considers it of some interest to compile as full a list as possible of localities with this name.
The field name occurs in the 1842 tithe award for the 'Township of Speke in the Parish of Childwall', where the landowner is recorded as Richard Watt, Esq., the occupier as William Atherton, Jr., its area as 2 acres, 2 roods and 30 perches (10875.93 m2), and the state of cultivation as barley.[1]
To get some idea of the size, location and shape of the area in Speke then known as Plumpton Park, imagine that the northwestern quarter of the football grounds bounded by Central Way, Oldbridge Road, Dam Wood Road, and Little Heath Road were turned c. 45° clockwise around its centre point. The contours of the field are indicated only on the earliest (1849) of the 6" O.S. maps of the area listed below. See the adapted map detail in the image gallery below, where the field is coloured maroon.
