Toxteth was once a Royal Deer Park, founded by King John in 1204. Being “beyond the pale” (the boundary palings) led to settlement by religious dissenters such as Puritans,with their strong artisan ethic. Toxteth became known for fine craftsmanship such as watchmaking and pottery and was the birthplace of Jeremiah Horrocks, the “Founder of Astronomy”.
