Old Swan is an inner-city area of Liverpool, Merseyside, England and a Liverpool City Council Ward. It is located fairly centrally in the city, bordered by Knotty Ash, Stoneycroft, Broadgreen, Fairfield and Wavertree. At the 2001 Census, the population of Old Swan was 12,938 (5,999 males, 6,939 females), increasing to a total of 16,461 at the 2011 Census.

Description

Old Swan is centred on the road junction between Prescot Road, running east to west, Derby Lane (from the north) St Oswald Street (from the south) and Broadgreen Road (from the south-east). It is named after a public house called the "Three Swans", which served the pack-horse route along Prescot Lane (now Prescot Road) during the 18th century. The name was derived from the coat of arms of local landowners, the Walton family. The inn stood at the corner of Prescot Lane and Pettycoat Lane (now Broadgreen Road). The junction later acquired two more pubs, the "Swan Vaults" (now called the "Old Swan") and the "Cygnet" (now closed), while the original pub has been replaced by another, the "Red House" (now closed).

A-ca-oo-mah-ca-ye

A-ca-oo-mah-ca-ye (died 1859 or 1860), aka Feathers or Old Swan, was a chief of the Blackfoot First Nation with a reputation as a peacemaker. In 1822, HBC's Chesterfield House journal described Feathers as "much attached to the whites". Like his father, Feathers gained a reputation as a peacemaker.

Events in the life

  • Some time after 1828 Feathers took his father's name: Old Swan.
  • In 1858 Dr. James Hector listed Old Swan as one of the principal chiefs of the Blackfoot tribe.
  • In July 1859, John Palliser and other members of the Palliser Expedition were his guests at his encampment on the Red Deer River in Alberta.
  • After Old Swan's death in either late 1859 or early 1860, his position as chief was taken by Big Swan. This successor was described as "a man of colossal size and savage disposition, crafty and treacherous."

    Wild Swan

    by: Magnum

    Wild Swan By Magnum.
    --------------------
    Wild swan follow the river
    Don't fly through dangerous skies
    On and on from bow and quiver
    Ride over mountains so high
    Over feilds and the ruin of castles
    Into the evening we soar
    City lights begin to sparkle
    Like diamonds thrown to the floor
    Fly home it's just me and you
    Your only son
    Fly home I've been waiting to
    The time has come
    The time has come
    Wild swan follow the river
    Don't fly through dangerous skies
    On and on from bow and quiver
    Ride over mountains so high
    Out to sea on the wings of heaven
    Where silver cuts like a knife
    Say farewell to the ships of the ocean
    We travel into the night
    Fly home it's just me and you
    Your only son
    Fly home I've been waiting to
    The time has come
    The time has come
    I'm coming home
    I'm coming home
