Source-derived summary

Toshack Highway is the musical group formed by the lead singer and guitarist from Swervedriver, Adam Franklin.

The band name derives from merging the surnames of two Liverpool F.C. football players from the 1970s, John Toshack and Steve Heighway.

Editorial summary

“Toshack Highway” enters the record as open-knowledge reference entry. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Toshack, Highway and Open-knowledge can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 39-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Toshack, Highway and Open-knowledge.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Toshack Highway” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Toshack, Highway and Open-knowledge provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 9, 2021.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
