Huyton - Post code L14,L36 and Part L16 of Liverpool, huyton was a rural area of Lancashire but mainly since the early 1950's and 1960's saw a massive influx of people from the city of Liverpool and large housing developements where built to deal with the deluge, Situated approximately six miles east of the city centre, Huyton is and will always remain a Liverpool area with solid stock liverpool people, despite given it an alter ego as a resident of the "borough of knowsley" The borough being a mish mash of a geographical scrambled egg which was created in 1974. None of its residents can identify with a name or area created from now where and still identify with the city of their origin.
The Huyton internment camp, one of the biggest in the country, was brought into operation in 1940 to hold German, Austrian and Italian men under suspicion of spying or sabotage. The article says "the site is now known as the CF Mott, which is basically forest area, although in recent years houses have been built on much of it". I am almost certain that this is incorrect. The camp was formed around several streets of new, empty council houses and flats, and then made secure with high barbed wire fencing. Initally the camp was only meant to hold the internees until they could be shipped to the Isle of Man. However, largely in response to the torpedoing of the transport ship: The Arandora Star, with the loss of nearly 700 people, the deportations ended. To the best of my knowledge, the camp was sited in and around what became known as the 'Bluebell estate' and many of the streets were given names of the great battles of the 1939 - 45 War.

in reply to location of the internment camp i've heard from word of mouth that the camp was on the mot. i can't prove it, maybe it was actually on the bluebell estate. i know that a lot of germans settled in the longview and mosscroft areas, but i don't know the details. 217.196.231.7
http://www.slemen.com/wolfgreen.html woolfall heath was the internment camp...it was a new estate then and they just put a 12foot babed wire fence round it, other than this ref, my dad told me as well, the mott (or cf mott)was woodland that was left to the children of the area by one of lord derbys female relatives, a collage was built on it, then closed, then houses built on it.......not exactly what she had in mind....cant be bothered digging out all the info right now, maybe later. — Preceding

Why do the overlords of this page repeatedly remove valid contributions to it?
I've have edited in correct information on several occasions only to have it removed. This makes a joke of the wiki concept.
I will make a complaint should it happen again.
Please do not maintain pages in such a way that means they only exist to boost your ego, or because you find it inconvenient to have your copy altered or embelished in a productive manner.
Thank You. 217.196.231.7 11:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hitler was one of the Germans detained in Huyton during World World II, as we all know, he then went on to play for Liverpool and amazingly, England.
I am astonished that this fact has been left out of the Huyton page. I will write a section and upload it later.
Many thanks,

This fella really knows his history and has taken time and a great degree of research in his quest for a true depiction of huyton and its sons, its a pity Adolf didnt drink in the eagle and child as this may have prevented the advent of world war II as im sure anyone imbibing in that hostelry with that moustache would have soon made a visit to yew tree. It would be great if he could do further research into other local legends the jam butty mine legend for instance from knotty ash's historical past would be a most interesting sojourn. good luck mate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.163.114.22 ( talk) 13:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
This contains glaring errors and omissions that are clearly designed to slander the people of Huyton. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thedogisdead ( talk • contribs) 2007-03-27.

I have deleted the following: "Huyton is also incorrectly thought to be a suburb of Liverpool, as it is on the eastern fringes of the city. However Knowsley and Liverpool are two distinct entities".
It is not the first time describing Huyton as a suburb of Liverpool as caused controversy. However, the issue is now addressed fully in the section 'Geography and Administration'. Yozzer66 ( talk) 15:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I would like to add this as I was the first person to leave an entry in this page, I am from huyton born and bred, when I grew up in the sixties my family had moved from Kensington and Everton etc, they never distinguished between huyton/Liverpool and they are scousers through and through I mean how can you tell one area from the other when the streets are gelled together? I was always told huyton is liverpool and we even paid rent to liverpool council for our new estate before knowsley was established. We dont need any imaginary line to tell us who we are, the city had its heart and people ripped out of it years ago and a lot of true scousers live in these schizophrenic areas. 82.163.114.22 ( talk)

the actual boundery type signs "welcome to liverpool/liverpool city council" are half way up bowring park rd (beyond the motorway roundabout, and........god i forget its name,continuation of rupert road?beyond the school /collage/swan pub..."dovecot,(liverpool city council)"...where as, all the huyton ones are knowsley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.48.21 ( talk) 19:15, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Whether Liverpool City Council owns any of the estates isn't relevant to the administrative district. One thing that isn't clear is whether some of the areas are considered part of Huyton, and whether anything considered to be part of Huyton is within the boundary of Liverpool. Fincham seems to be divided between Liverpool and Knowsley and it's unclear whether it's part of Huyton or West Derby. Peter E. James ( talk) 19:35, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
The author Stephen R. Griffiths ( 'Sand In My Shoes', 'Dollar In My Pocket' - Amazon Books) was educated at St. Michaels Junior School ' Rupert Road and at Huyton Hey Secondary School.
