The Parkgate Society

Parkgate Street Names

There is no precise definition of the Parkgate boundaries because it is not a historic parish, and the ward boundary changes with each revision of the voting list. However, Parkgate is generally considered to consist of the area enclosed by Moorside Lane and its adjoining roads, Buggen Lane, and Wood Lane, including its adjoining roads, continuing beyond Boathouse Lane as far as the boundary with Gayton, which is the stream which flows through the Backwood Hall estate and into the Dee estuary adjacent to Heswall Golf Club. 

There are over 50 roads with a Parkgate address, including the new roads within the Mostyn Place development, and it is these road names that tell about the history and nature of Parkgate. 

Anne Williamson compiled this list of Parkgate street names for the Society's newsletter in 2005. She worked with our former chairman, Geoffrey Place and the committee and it appeared in the Society’s newsletters of 2005 and 2006. The most recent updates were made in December 2015 after the Mostyn House School development was completed.
