There is no street named Dacre hill. The most I can find is 'Dacre Hill Post Office' on Google earth.

God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.

Dacre Hill exists on contemporary high scale maps as both the small area around the Post Office and as a generalised larger area between Egerton Park and Woodhey.

In old directories there are some Dacre Hill addresses, from number 10 to number 64 (including some odd numbers) in Kelly's 1902 directory. It indicates that Dacre Hill starts at 423 Old Chester Road and ends at Bebington Road/Kings Lane. 423 Old Chester Road is about 50 yards North from the post office, the dog-leg in the road is the border and there are obviously differing building styles either side of that boundary.

I seem to remember a Dacre Hill convent school.
