Hunt's Cross is a suburb of Liverpool, England.
It is located on the southern edge of the city, bordered by the suburbs of Woolton, Allerton, Speke and Halewood and delineated by the West Coast Main Line, Hillfoot Avenue, Merseyrail Northern Line and Mackets Lane.
Hunt's Cross was the name given to the ancient cross-roads at Speke Road, Hillfoot Avenue and Woodend Avenue, which formed the southern boundary of Much Woolton.
The available evidence indicates that the cross-roads was called Hunt's Cross because of fox hunts meeting there before setting off.
There was also a nearby monument called 'Hunt's Folly', shown on historical maps along with Honey Hall, Woodend Farm and Rose Farm.
The 'Liverpool Hunt' is commemorated by a collection of fine china tableware by Booths.
The ancient remains of the village cross In the 1960s the medieval stone pedestal of the village cross had to be moved a short distance, to the corner of Hillfoot Road and Speke Road, to allow Hillfoot Avenue to be widened.
There are similar crosses in the nearby villages of Cronton, Woolton, and Garston.
Local folklore says that whoever takes the stone shall be possessed with the power of the Hunt.
It is also said that Dick Turpin stayed in Hunt's Cross on his way to York and stabled his horse Black Bess there.
