"is it because its was on the site of style number 7? "

Aye sort of,

If you go to Bidston Village and opposite St Oswolds church is a footpath towards the Beechwood between the houses. Before the Ford Estate and M53 were built this path went all the way accross to Noctorum (about where the pub is now) and there were 7 styles on the way - hence the path being called the 7 styles path and the pub remembers what was lost under the housing estate.

Has anyone noticed that the new houses being built next to the 7 Styles have name plates on them claiming that they're in Oxton - Hmmm I think that's a little cheeky - Bidston, Noctorum or evan Upton at a push but Oxton is flipping miles away from there............

I'd seen that! I'm less than 100 metres away (towards Oxton) and we're classed as Prenton.
