	Beyond The Walls
		Rodney Street is a broad and deadly straight avenue running parallel to the River Mersey along the slope of the steep sandstone ridge that defines the edge of Liverpool’s central core.
		George Bridges Rodney (1718-1792), the first Baron Rodney, was certainly the Rodney who gave the street its name and one of the men who has caused this issue of public nomenclature to surface in Liverpool.
		Rodney gained notoriety and sufficient prestige to enjoy the honour of civic commemoration because of his military achievements in the interests of Britain, not because British society as a whole decided to fête his racism for all time.

	George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney Summary
		The British admiral George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney (1718-1792), by winning notable victories in Caribbean waters over French, Spanish, and Dutch forces, contributed substantially to British command of the seas in the late 18th century.
		Late in 1779, named commander in chief of the Leeward Islands, Rodney was ordered to sail with 22 ships of the line and a large convoy of transports to the West Indies and on the way to relieve Gibraltar, which had been under Spanish siege since July 1779.
		Returning to the Caribbean in February 1781, Rodney captured the Dutch islands of St. Eustatius and St. Martin and confiscated huge stocks belonging to British merchants trading illegally with American Revolutionists, thereby crippling a contraband trade on which the Americans depended.
