L'Elephant[edit]

The article says that "public Houses such as The White Horse and the pub formerly known as The Elephant attract many customers". What is "the pub formerly known as The Elephant" called today? TPFKATE? -Ashley Pomeroy 16:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is still known as The Elephant - though why it is felt worthy to mention this and the White horse yet omit The Coach and Horses, and The Coffee House.

Seems a pity just to detail the pubs - better to mention - the Duck Pond a car park named after a previous use. Or the fact that all the sandstone for the Liverpool cathedral came from Woolton quarry - the remains of which are seen in Quarry St. Might even be nice to name the most significant thing in Woolton Camp Hill a large park!

Association with "The Importance of Being Earnest"[edit]

The Woolton in Liverpool cannot possibly be identified as the one in Oscar Wilde's play. Firstly, the address of Jack Worthing's country house is explicitly given in the play as "The Manor House, Woolton, Hertfordshire". Secondly, Liverpool is too far from London to be consistent with the plot of the play. Thirdly, it would be pointlessly risky for an author to use a real, identifiable village, with a real manor house, church and parish priest in a piece of fiction set (at the time of writing) in "the present day". 2407:7000:8303:9400:CA8C:1EFB:DFD:6767 (talk) 03:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
