[edit] Hampstead or Liverpool

I don't think there is an area of Liverpool called Hampstead. MrMarmite 07:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

There isn't; I used to live there. There is a Hampstead Road in L6, near Newsham Park, which might fit the bill but until I can get to the DNB, it's got to go. --Rodhullandemu 20:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
