Had we started there maybe we'd play in black and white. 😁 The bit labelled 'EyeBroke' has been known as Ibrox for a long, long time. Which makes me think whoever made the map is at it ('EyeBroke' = always broke?, as per 'aye ready') The other thing that makes me think it's doctored is that it's Bellyhouston on old maps, not Billy.

Think there were actually two references right next to each other on old maps mate. But it was Bellyhouston and Old Bellyhouston. I know cause I live nearby so I've had a rummage for maps before out of interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
