Hi Rod, I think there's some misunderstanding: It's London's Little Italy which was in Clerkenwell, which is now part of the London Borough of Islington, though previously it was part of the Holborn registration district, and became part of Finsbury registration district when it was created around the end 19th/early 20th century. Terri Colpi only identifies areas as Little Italy in Manchester and London, though says "in Liverpool there was a Colony of Sicilini most of whom were importers of fruit and who lived near the docks.' This refers to around 1927. She also mentions a Fascio at Brunswick Street, Liverpool, in the 1930s, which suggests there may have been a concentration of Italians around there. She also mentions a strong Southern Italian, and particularly Sicilian, presence among Liverpool Italians. Also there was an Italian Consulate in Liverpool (and many people used Liverpool as the port to set off for America), though I think the community was never more than a few hundred strong.
