Walton was a place in its own right long before the expanding city absorbed it: its church of St Mary was historically Liverpool's mother church, and the old name Walton-on-the-Hill still appears on the maps. Boundary Commission plans of 1885 and 1917 show the district within the parliamentary borough alongside Kirkdale and Everton. Street maps of 1928 and 1949 follow it through Fazakerley, Orrell Park, Bootle and Bank Hall, and around Walton Hall Park, Anfield and Stanley Park, while a sheet of 1935 takes in Clubmoor and Norris Green.
