There is some confusion over a Wirral street sign after and an error was spotted over the weekend.
Ebenezer Street in Rock Ferry was the scene of a scrapyard fire on Saturday as smoke billowed out and local residents were told to keep their windows and doors shut despite the hot weather.
But it was noticed that Ebenezer Street had two conflicting signs, one spelling Ebenezer with one 'e' and the other with two 'Ebeneezer Street'.
According to planning documents on the Wirral Council website and Google Streetview, Ebenezer should be spelt with one 'e' between the 'n' and the 'z', not two - the same way as the Charles Dickens character Ebenezer Scrooge.
The spelling of Ebenezer with two 'e's between the 'n' and the 'z' is usually only seen in reference to the most controversial number ones of the 1990s - Ebeneezer Goode.
The 1992 single by The Shamen was initially banned by the BBC due to its perceived endorsement of recreational drug use.
According to Streetlist.co.uk, there are 20 other roads in the UK named Ebenezer Street.
And according to old-maps.co.uk, the street didn't appear on records until the late 1880s, which will have coincided with the industrial boom of Birkenhead and the expansion from the Rock Park developments of the mid-1880s, which is now a conservation area.
Ebenezer Street sits just outside this conservation area and is currently home to industrial buildings.
Wirral Council confirmed the correct spelling of the sign was Ebenezer and said the Wirral Highways team would be notified.
