Scotland Road was created in the 1770 s as a Turnpike road to Preston via Walton and Burscough . It became part of a stagecoach route to Scotland , hence its name. It was partly widened in 1803 and streets of working-class housing laid out either side as Liverpool expanded. Many were demolished as slums in the 1930 s, to be replaced with corporation flats. In Victorian Times the area had over 200 Public House s, mostly now closed. The Scotland Road area has been blighted by unemployment and crime in the last 20 years. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
