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two more pubs, the "Swan Vaults" (now called the "Old Swan") and the "Cygnet" (now closed), while the original pub has been replaced by another, the "Red House" (now closed).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
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 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
