Hi Rod A quick Google search (Liverpool islington "little italy") reveals a little more about "Little Italy" in Liverpool.: "...Gianelli...fish and chip shop on the corner of Christian Street and Islington Place." "A steady flow of Italian immigrants arrived in Liverpool between 1880 and 1912, and settled in the cobbled side streets on the eastern side of Byrom Street. A census report for 1891, reveals that there were a significant number of Italians living in Gerard Street, Hunter Street, Lionel Street and Whale Street. The growth of the community was very distinctive and by 1913, it was estimated that there were in excess of 400 Italian-born settlers in the tiny cluster of streets which by then had become affectionately known to local residents as 'Little Italy' " http://www.scottiepress.org.uk/tcooke/tcooke.htm "The 'Scottie Press' is Britain's longest running and award winning community newspaper, serving the Scotland Road and Vauxhall Road areas of Liverpool for 30 successful years." More of the same from the home page of that site ("Italy's little empire in the heart of Liverpool") Might be useful to add to links on our website under "Liverpool"?
