Old Swan

Bordered by Knotty Ash, Stoneycroft, Broadgreen and Wavertree Old Swan is a thriving community said to be named after 18th Century public house The Three Swans. The name was derived from the coat of arms of local landowners the Walton family. Former Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson hailed from Old Swan as did the parents of Austin Powers' star and Liverpool FC supporter Mike Myers.
