So… what do we know about Dock Road?

It doesn’t actually exist, being in fact a dozen end-to end smaller streets. This website tells you far more than you need to know about it.

Sat nav, shat nav. For some linguistic pedants it still seems that usage is a dirty word. It certainly exists in Liverpool & elsewhere – it’s just not a postal address, is all he’s saying.
And anyway how do we know it doesn’t refer to the Dock Road A5139 that runs from Penny Bridge to The Four Bridges (rather closer to home in fact), or for that matter the one in Garston mentioned in the article?
My family history is all over all three of them so I’m not arsed either way.

“What are we gonna say to the landlady, then? Er, bed and breakfast, luv – five men, a can-lad, seventy pigeons and a goose?”
(Dixie Dean, ‘The Black Stuff’, 1980)
The can-lad was Dixie’s son Kevin, played by Gary Bleasdale, cousin of Alan.)

The legendary Liverpool denizen and artist Dick Young was a teenage Dock Road can-lad, at David Dargie & Sons.
