From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Under an Act passed in 1855 the property on both sides was purchased and taken down, the crest of the hill still farther lowered, and the alignment of the street removed farther to the south, so as to skirt the margin of St. John's Churchyard. The open land thus gained was availed of for a very useful purpose. Early in 1850 the scheme of establishing a Free Public Library was brought before the town-council by Mr. J.A. Picton, and, after some inquiry, was adopted. The first location of the Library was in Duke Street, in the ci-devant Union Newsroom, which was opened on October 18, 1852. The success of the institution was so great as to lead to a proposal for the erection of a larger and more central building, which was still further required for the reception of the Museum of Natural History belonging to the thirteenth Earl of Derby, who died in 1851, and bequeathed his collections to the town.
A large piece of land was appropriated for the site, and competition plans were advertised for. This led, as frequently happens, to considerable difference of opinion and difficulty in carrying out the scheme. At this juncture, Mr. (afterwards Sir William) Brown, nobly stepped forward, and undertook to defray the expense of the building, the Corporation providing the land. This was gratefully accepted, and the present building was erected from the designs of Mr. John Weightman, at that time architect and surveyor to the Corporation. On April 15, 1856, the first stone was laid by Mr. Brown with great eclat (the e has an accent on- website owner), in the presence of the Bishop of Chester and many other distinguished guests. This was followed by a grand banquet at St. George's Hall, Mr. Alderman Holme presiding in the absence of the mayor (Mr. F. Shand). The new building was opened on October 18, 1860, with even greater rejoicings than at the previous celebration. One very interesting feature in the proceedings was the presence of the venerable Lord Brougham, who had just completed his eightieth year, but who entered into the spirit of the scene with a vigour and eloquence worthy of his best days.
The building is spacious and handsome, and admirably adapted for the purposes of the institution. Its position and aspect are all that could be desired. Standing on a commanding eminence facing the south, with a large open unobstructed area in front, the view of the town from the portico is singularly striking. The contiguous locality is the finest in Liverpool, architecturally speaking. St. George's Hall, the Free Library, the commanding facade (the c has an accent under it- website owner) of the Railway Hotel, the Alexandra Theatre, the Wellington Column, the equestrian statues of the Queen and the Prince Consort, form an artistic group which we might travel far to see surpassed. Soon after the opening of the building, the name of the street was changed, by a vote of the Council, from Shaw's Brow to William Brown Street.

Islington Terrace and Circus Street
Islington Terrace and Circus Street.
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
The fine row of houses called Islington Terrace was erected between 1784 and 1796. The Olympoc Circus, Adelphi Theatre, or Queen's Theatre, as it has since been called, was built in 1795. Jacob Astley, of equestrian fame, had been accustomed to visit Liverpool and to give performances in the Theatre, Williamson Square. For some unexplained reason he received notice to quit, and in July 1795 issued proposals in the newspapers for the erection of an ampitheatre for music, dancing, equestrian exercises, etc., which he proposed to carry out "by subscription by way of tontine, viz., one hundred subscribers at fifty pounds each, to have a free admission ticket, on the same plan as the Theatre. The building to be held in trust by six of the subscribers by way of security." This appeal was responded to, and the building was erected within six months.
Circus Street of course takes its name from the building opposite which it debouches.

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Christian Street was so called from Mr. Philip Christian, originally a potter in Lord Street, who purchased Gibson's Folly and grounds, pulled down the tower, and erected for mimself a handsome mansion at the corner of the present Christian Street, some time about 1780. The garden was pleasantly laid out, and decorated with statuary. Here he continued to reside until his decease, about 1808.

Islington Market
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Islington Market was not a success. It was too near St. John's, and was not approved by either buyers or sellers. I t was closed for some years, and at the time of the improvements of 1856 it was cleared away altogether. Down to the year 1785 carcely any buildings existed north of the pot-works in Shaw's Browand east of Byrom Street; but during the eleven years from 1785 to 1796 a prodigious advancewas made, and the greater part of the area between Shaw's Brow and Richmond Row, from north to south, and from Byrom Street to St. Anne Street, from east to west, was covered with buildings.

Folly Fair
Folly Fair
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
The origin of this merrymaking was something as follows:- A short distance up what is now called Islington, but then simply the road to West Derby, very near the site of the present Christian Street, a house of entertainmentand strawberry or tea-garden was kept about the middle of the last century by Mr. Gibson, who was also the lessee and manager of the Theatre Royal. Here he erected a square tower, eight storeys in height (1. Aview of this will be found in Herdman's Ancient Liverpool, vol.1. pl. 37.), most probably for a look out or Belvedere, the situation commanding an extensive view. Here, as in many other parts of England, any erection of a peculiar character is attributed to the "folly" of the builder, and designated by the name.The structure in question thus acquired the appellation of "Gibson's Folly," by which name it was commonly known. The road which led up to the establishment was called Folly Lane, by which name it is designated in the maps of 1785 and 1796.

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
The triangular areas opposite the north end of St. George's Hall demands a passing notice. It was oribinally part of the heath, and remained in its primitive state down to the latter end of the last century. In a fine plate by Burdett of the Old Infirmary, given in Enfield's History of Liverpool (1774), it is shown as a rough foreground, with an antique wooden windmill in the centre. This mill was removed about 1780, and the ground levelled and paved. I then became the scene of the annual festivity called Folly Fair.

Dr. Raffles, for many years minister of Great George Street Chapel, and the honour in which that popular preacher was held, secured a favourable reception to the son's appointment. Mr. Raffle's long tenure of office amid universal respect more than justified the anticipations formed by his friends. He was succeeded by Mr. William John Stewart, Barrister-at-Law.

William Daniels
William Daniels
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
On October 13th Liverpool lost a distinguished resident in the person of Mr. William Daniels, an artist of something more than local reputation. He was born in the unpromising neighbourhood of Scotland Road, and as a boy worked with his father at the mechanical trade of brickmaking. But even in such circumstances genius asserted itself, and it is said that he drew on the sand sketches which excited the wonder of his companions. He produced some pictures that had at one time considerable vogue, such as "The Recluse" and "The Prisoner of Chillon." But, like many of the brethren of the brush, he found portrait painting most profitable, and attained considerable success therein. Thereby hangs a tale. For he was a man with some incurable eccentricities and could not be kept within conventional rules. When the great Duke visited Liverpool, the friends of Daniels secured a promise that the victor of Waterloo would sit to him for his portrait. The Duke, as is well known, was always punctual. He was ready at the appointed time. But the artist did not turn up, and an opportunity was lost. His funeral took place at St. James' Cemetery, where more than 200 mourners, amongst them many local notabilities, attended in honour of his memory.

Extremity of Park Road
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Pursuing our route to the extremity of Park Road, we notice at the foot of the hill a plain stone structure at the corner, with a small graveyard attached, very neatly planted and in trim order. This is usually designated the "ancient" chapel of Toxteth Park, and has a story to tell.
In the latter part of the reigh of Elizabeth, Puritanism began to spread in South Lancashire, probably as a reaction against the influence of Popery, which was very strong in the district. It did not exhibit itself as tending to separate from the church, but rather as a protest against ritualistic forms and ceremonies. In the reign of James 1 the Puritan influence grew stronger, and displayed itself in a resistance to the King's Book of Sports (See Neal's History of the Puritans, 11. 264, where Toxteth Chapel is mentioned). Toxteth Park, then very thinly inhabited, was almost entirely Puritan; the family of Aspinwall, who possessed landed property in the district, being strong supporters of the cause. (The Aspinwalls subsequently inherited the property of the Irelands of Hale by the marriage of Edward Aspinwall with Eleanor, sister and heiress of Sir Gilbert Ireland. His great-grand-daughter, Mary Aspinwall, married Isaac Green. In the early part of King James's reign, a choolmaster was wanted for a school recently established in Toxteth Park; and a youth from Lowton, near Winwick, named Richard Mather, only fifteen years of age, who had been educated at Winwick Grammar School, was recommended and appointed to the office. His education had been by no means of a Puritan character; but when brought under the influence of the learned and pious Mr. Aspinwall, under whose roof it would seem he resided, he embraced the religious views of his patron, and was sent to Brazenose College, Oxford. A meeting-house appears to have been erected about this time on the site of the present chapel- possibly identical with the school-house.The young probationer having displayed considerable talent as a preacher, he was urged, without completing his college course, to return to Toxteth and becomethe minister of the congregation. Puritanism at this period was not exactly Nonconformity, and the young divine applied to Morton, Bishop of Chester, (1618-20) for ordination. As the strict church principles of the bishop were known, there was some apprehension of a difficulty; but the prelate readily assented to the application, and expressed a desire to speak with Mather in private after the ordination. Instead of a lecture on the irregularities of Puritanism, as he had expected, the bishop expressed an earnest entreaty to be remembered in his prayers; for, said he, "the prayer of a good man availeth much."
After some years of active clerical life, his ministrations were disturbed by the authority of Neile, Archbishop of York, who sent down a commission into Lancashire to inquire into the conduct of the Puritanical clergy, who refused to wear the surplice, or to make the sign of the cross in baptism, and who administered the sacrament to the copmmunicants in a sitting posture. By this commission Mather was silenced, and threatened with fine and imprisonment if he again ventured to officiate without giving security for his conformity.
Tradition has handed down the memory of nocturnal assemblages in the valley of the Dingle hard by, where the Puritans met by stealth to listen to the exhortations of their beloved pastor; but when Archbishop Laud came into the ascendant, a few years subsequently, his vigilant emissaries let nothing escape them, and even the seclusion of Toxteth Park was no security. Harassed and persecuted, Mather turned his longing eyes towards America, where the "May Flower" had already landed her precious cargo, the pioneers of a new world of thought and progress. After consultation with his friends, he travelled in disguise to Bristol, where, in the spring of 1635, he set sail for Boston. Here he was received with open arms, and settled at Dorchester, Massachusetts, where he long exercised his ministry with a large amount of influence among the New England churches.

Pursuing our route to the extremity of Park Road, we notice at the foot of the hill a plain stone structure at the corner, with a small graveyard attached, very neatly planted and in trim order. This is usually designated the "ancient" chapel of Toxteth Park, and has a story to tell.
In the latter part of the reigh of Elizabeth, Puritanism began to spread in South Lancashire, probably as a reaction against the influence of Popery, which was very strong in the district. It did not exhibit itself as tending to separate from the church, but rather as a protest against ritualistic forms and ceremonies. In the reign of James 1 the Puritan influence grew stronger, and displayed itself in a resistance to the King's Book of Sports (See Neal's History of the Puritans, 11. 264, where Toxteth Chapel is mentioned). Toxteth Park, then very thinly inhabited, was almost entirely Puritan; the family of Aspinwall, who possessed landed property in the district, being strong supporters of the cause. (The Aspinwalls subsequently inherited the property of the Irelands of Hale by the marriage of Edward Aspinwall with Eleanor, sister and heiress of Sir Gilbert Ireland. His great-grand-daughter, Mary Aspinwall, married Isaac Green. In the early part of King James's reign, a choolmaster was wanted for a school recently established in Toxteth Park; and a youth from Lowton, near Winwick, named Richard Mather, only fifteen years of age, who had been educated at Winwick Grammar School, was recommended and appointed to the office. His education had been by no means of a Puritan character; but when brought under the influence of the learned and pious Mr. Aspinwall, under whose roof it would seem he resided, he embraced the religious views of his patron, and was sent to Brazenose College, Oxford. A meeting-house appears to have been erected about this time on the site of the present chapel- possibly identical with the school-house.The young probationer having displayed considerable talent as a preacher, he was urged, without completing his college course, to return to Toxteth and becomethe minister of the congregation. Puritanism at this period was not exactly Nonconformity, and the young divine applied to Morton, Bishop of Chester, (1618-20) for ordination. As the strict church principles of the bishop were known, there was some apprehension of a difficulty; but the prelate readily assented to the application, and expressed a desire to speak with Mather in private after the ordination. Instead of a lecture on the irregularities of Puritanism, as he had expected, the bishop expressed an earnest entreaty to be remembered in his prayers; for, said he, "the prayer of a good man availeth much."
After some years of active clerical life, his ministrations were disturbed by the authority of Neile, Archbishop of York, who sent down a commission into Lancashire to inquire into the conduct of the Puritanical clergy, who refused to wear the surplice, or to make the sign of the cross in baptism, and who administered the sacrament to the copmmunicants in a sitting posture. By this commission Mather was silenced, and threatened with fine and imprisonment if he again ventured to officiate without giving security for his conformity.
Tradition has handed down the memory of nocturnal assemblages in the valley of the Dingle hard by, where the Puritans met by stealth to listen to the exhortations of their beloved pastor; but when Archbishop Laud came into the ascendant, a few years subsequently, his vigilant emissaries let nothing escape them, and even the seclusion of Toxteth Park was no security. Harassed and persecuted, Mather turned his longing eyes towards America, where the "May Flower" had already landed her precious cargo, the pioneers of a new world of thought and progress. After consultation with his friends, he travelled in disguise to Bristol, where, in the spring of 1635, he set sail for Boston. Here he was received with open arms, and settled at Dorchester, Massachusetts, where he long exercised his ministry with a large amount of influence among the New England churches. His son, Increase Mather, and his grandson, Dr. Cotton Mather, both became celebrated in their day as authors and divines.
It must be observed that Toxteth Chapel was never consecrated; but, in the first instance, no objection appears to have been raised by the bishop to allowing an ordained clergyman to officiate. After the removal of Richard Mather a regularly ordained Episcopal clergyman was appointed.

Dingle
Dingle
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
We have now reached the southern boundary of the municipality, and strictly speaking we ought not to step over it, but there are a few localities lying a little beyond our limit which it would be almost unpardonable to pass by without notice. Such a locality is the "Dingle," situated immediately to the south of the borough boundary, which though limited in extent, is one of the most lovely bits of scenery in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. In the olden time a tiny stream rising somewhere about the high land not far from the High Park Coffee House, ran its little course down the line of Park Road, past the old Chapel, and debouched into the river by a deep gully behing a rocky promontory. The sources of this stream have long dried up, and the little valley no longer echoes to the tinkle of the waters. About 1808 the estate, of which this forms a part, was purchased by the Rev. John Yates, then the minister of the Unitarian Church, Paradise Street. A house already existed on the land, on the site of Dingle Head, now the residence of Mr. Charles Turner, M.P. foe South West Lancashire. The house was occupied in 1768 by Dr. Kennion or Kenyon, a connection of Lord Kenyon's and a great collector of antiquities. Mr. Yates was capable of appreciating the beauties of his purchase, and in addition to building several houses for members of his family, he improved the natural capabilities by judicious planting, laying out walks, and opening out the best points of view. About 1821 he sold the western part of the property to Mr. James Cropper, who also built several villas overlooking the river. The proprietors of this little "Vallombrosa" have for many years kindly and liberally thrown open the grounds to the public on two evenings in the week.

Park Hill House, Dingle
Park Hill House, Dingle
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
The land between South Hill Road and Dingle Lane has not yet been invaded by the speculative builder. It is chiefly occupied by villas and gardens, the most conspicuous of which open to a verdant avenue called South Hill Grove, formed in 1833. The western part of the tract we are now surveying is occupied by the Park Hill House Estate.
The house is a large mansion situated on an eminence commanding a fine marine view, the grounds and fields extending to the foreshore of the river. By whom the house was built, and the date of its erection, I am unable to ascertain. It was occupied from about 1812 to 1827 by Mr. John Garnett, and subsequently purchased and inhabited by Mr. John Rowden Freme, to whose heirs it still belongs. Situated close to the Herculaneum Graving Docks, it forms the boundary between rurality and commerce, to the insatiable encroachments of the latter of which it is probable the former must erelong succumb.

Bridge Over Byrom Street
Bridge over Byrom Street, Liverpool
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
When the Improvement Act of 1855 was under consideration, a strong desire was felt in many quarters for a high level bridge to be thrown over Byrom Street, connecting William Brown Street with Dale Street on the plan which has been so successfully carried out in the Holborn viaduct in the netropolis. The alarm of the shopkeepers and those interested in property, which it was fancied would be injuriously affected, succeeded in thwarting the project. In the erection of the new library on the side of a steep slope, a broad platform in front became a necessity. This being laid out as a paved street, and terminating abruptly at the west end with a retaining wall, it presentsall the appearance of an unfinished viaductwaiting to carry the line over the valley of Byrom Street and the Haymarket.

Herculaneum Pottery
Herculaneum Pottery, Toxteth.
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
At the bottom of Wellington Road, turning west from Grafton Street, a row of ten old cottages may be seen, standing on a steep bank, apparently out of keeping with everything about them. These cottages have a history. They are the last remains of the once flourishing settlement of the Herculaneum Pottery, the extensive works of which stood immediately below, on a promontory projecting into the river. The site was originally taken by Mr. Charles Roe on a lease for eighty years from May 1772. A small copper work was the first structure erected, which was carried on by Messrs. Roe and Co. In 1794 the property was purchased by Messrs. Abbey and Graham, and converted into a pottery. In 1796, their interest was transferred to a joint stock company, forme by Messrs. Worthington, Humble, Holland, and others, under the style and title of the "Herculaneum Pottery Company." At this time the pottery business, which had risen so rapidly declined, was almost extinct in its original seat in the town, but the facilities of water carriagefor the materials, and the vicinity of a good market for their wares, seemed to promise success to thenew company. Extensive buildings were erected for the manufactory, and a hamlet consisting of several rows of cottages, of which these before us are the last remains, was built on a very picturesque eminence overlooking the water, far distant from any other habitations. The operatives were brought from Staffordshire, and came in a body, accompanie by their wives and families, by water down the river from Runcorn. They landed in the new colony on November 11, 1796, and were met by a large concourse of people< And escorted into the works with a band of music. The potters long continued A separate And isolated people, preserving their own manners and customs< and retaining their Mercian dialect. Being prinicipally of the Wesleyan Methodist persuasion, a small chapel was erected for their use by the proprietors, where Dr. Adam Clarke, Jabez Bunting, Robert Newton, And many other eminent men of the denomination, have occasionally officiated. Blue printed ware was the first manufacture, to which, in 1800, China ware was added. The stores and showrooms were first established at the Duke's Dock, and subsequently removed to the bottom of Duke Street. The concern was carried on until1833, when the company was dissolved, and the works sold to Messrs. Lace, Holme, and Tomkinson for the sum of ｣25,000. The pottery was afterwards let to Messrs. Case and Mort, and subsequently to Messrs. Mort and Simpson until 1841, when the premises were dismantled for the purpose of carrying out the proposed Herculaneum docks.

Mr. Thomas Earle
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Proceeding along Smithdown Lane, without venturing for the present to intrude into the region of Txteth Park, at Tunnel Road we arrive at the boundary of the Spekelands Estate, which extends to the limit of the township and borough, which are here conterminous. Speke, and Speke-lands are, in all probability, derived from spic, bacon; spican, to fatten; as being covered with beech or other woods furnishing "mast" for feeding swine.
The estate was purchased, near the close of the last century, by Mr. Thomas Earle, who had previously lived in Hanover Street. At first he resided at the Brook farm-house, which still stands on the property. About 1804-5 he erected the present Spekelands House, a large square building of white stone, where he resided till his decease in 1822. It was occupied by his widow for some years, and subsequently let to various persons.
The estate is now ripe for the builder, and will doubtless before long be covered with a labyrinth of brick and mortar.

Mason
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
The original settlement of Edgehill took place about the beginning of the present century, and comprised the district between King Street (now Kinglake Street) and Smithdown Lane from east to west, and between Paddington and Clarence Street from north to south. Much of this land, however, remained unbuilt on for many years. Mason Street was thefirst developed. It took its name from Mr. Edward Mason, timber merchant, who had his domicile and business establishment, as far back as 1766, in Mason Street, Wapping, then a new street, to which he gave the name. About 1800 he built a mansion at Edgehill, near the north end of the present Mason Street. The gardens and grounds were very extensive, reaching the whole length of Paddington as far as Smithdown Lane. Mr. Mason died at a ripe old age in 1814. His daughter, Miss Mason, continued to occupy the house until her decease in 1833. After her death the property was sold, and about 1844 the house was dismantled and the grounds built over.

Wavertree Park and Plumbes Hall
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Wavertree Park, which has proved an inestimable boon as a recreation ground for the people, owes its existence almost to an accident. The site was formerly occupied by an old-fashioned mansion, surrounded by a grove of noble elms, a few of which yet remain, nearly destroyed by the sulphureous fumes of the neighbouring gasworks. The house was called Plumbes Hall from the family which occupied it. It was subsequently tenanted by Mr. Charles Lawrence, mayor in 1823-4. Mr. Lawrence was one of the originators of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and filled for some years the office of chairman, at a time when the duties were most arduous and the difficulties almost insuperable. It was by the efforts of him and a few others of a similar stamp, that the genius of George Stephenson obtained a clear stage and fair play for its grand conceptions. Afterwards the house was occupied by Sir Joshua Walmsley, Knt., mayor in 1839-40, and sometime M.P. for Leicester.

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
The land from a little west of Deane Street, extending eastward, formed part of the Fairfield Estate, which was purchased, soon after the middle of last century, by Mr. Edward Falkner, merchant, who previously resided in Olhall Street. The house which he erected, called Fairfield Hall, from some fancied peculiarity in its design was popularly known by the name of "Teacaddy Hall." Mr. Falkner filled the office of High Sheriff of the county in 1788. In 1796 he aided in raising a troop of Volunteer cavalry, of which he took the command. He was appointed Receiver-General of the Land Tax for the county, an office of considerable emolument. He married the sister of General Sir Banastre Tarleton, sometime M.P. for the borough. After Mr. Falkner's decease, about 1825, his son Mr. E.D. Falkner, laid out a large part of the estate for building. Deane Street and Beech Street were formed about 1833, and have been partially built on, but not to the same extent as the more eastern parts of the estate, Holly Road, Laurel Road, etc., which are beyond the boundary of the borough.Should the above be of interest to you, you are advised to view the original article, as this is not necessarily an exact 'transcript'.

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Edge Lane is one of the original roads leading into Liverpool from the east. In 1769 the north side of the road was thinly sprinkled with houses between Vernon's Hall and Fairfield. The commodious-looking house opposite the end of Marmaduke Street (formerly Duke Street North) was for some years the residence of Mr. Ottiwell Wood, who built it in 1815. He was a gentleman who took an active part on the Liberal side in politics at a period long anterior to the Reform Act of 1832.

Prince Edwin Street is of somewhat later date. The first houses were built at the lower end, on the south side, from Fox Street eastward, being a row of nine goodly mansions. About 1815 a handsome detached house was built on the north side, near the east end, by Mr. Roger Adamson. This was afterwards occupied by Mr. David Hodgson, who was mayor in 1845. This site is now occupied by the Church of St. Ambrose, erected 1871.

Roscommon Street
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Roscommon Street was formed about the end of the last century by Mr. Joshua Rose, merchant, who resided in a noble mansion hard by, to which I shall shortly refer. He was a man of considerable enterprise. Possessing large tracts of land in the outskirts of the town, he laid out various streets, and assisted materially in the direction which the town took at that time. Rose Place and Rose Hill took their designations from him. In this immediate neighbourhood his fancy ran upon the classic poets- Great Homer, Virgil, Dryden, Juvenal, had their place in the Walhalla of his street nomenclature; and close to his own residence he admitted the Earl of Roscommon into the circle of his worthies. Though formed by Mr. Joshua Rose, Roscommon Street owed its development to Mr. Thomas Wiatt, a solicitor in Liverpool, who built a number of commodious houses on the north side, with neat gardens in front. The uppermost house, which had attached to it a beautiful pleasureground and orchard, was long occupied by his widow. At the lower end, on the south side, several handsome houses were built before 1830 by Mr. John Davies. In this half-suburban condition the street long remained. About 1850 it fell into the hands of the builders, who speedily filled the interspaces with rows of houses, and left it in its present condition.

George Mercer.
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
The south side of Rupert Lane has only been built on in the upper part within the last few years. On this side formerly stood the smithy of the village, with the smith's cottage adjoining. The last tenant, Mr. George Mercer, was a man of considerable intelligence. He possessed the peculiar faculty, of which other instances have been adduced, of recognising the build and peculiar features of a ship at almost incredible distances. It was formerly the custom when a ship was descriedin the offing for a flag to be hoisted by the keeper of Bidston Lighthouse, for which purpose poles were provided along the ridge of Bidston Hill, each merchant having his own. It is recorded that George Mercer's powers of vision, though so much further distant, frequently put to shame the vigilance of the lighthouse-keeper. His assistance in this way became so valuable that a small observatory was erected, from which he could sweep the horizon seawward at flood tide, and report the distantly approaching vessels. Mr. Mercer afterwards entered into business in a more extensive way, and realised a handsome competence, on which he retired. He died in November 1819. The site of the smithy is now covered by a row of three good houses, near the lower end of Rupert Lane.

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
At the for lane ends we will turn westward down Rupert Lane. In 1790 the whole of the land on the north side was the property of Mr. William Harper, mayor in 1804. Soon after 1790 he erected the noble mansion which still remains, and laid out the grounds and accessories in a style of princely maginificence. Mr. Harper accumulated a very large fortune, and retired to pass the evening of his days on an estatehe purchased in Cheshire, where he died in 1815. After his removal it passed into the hands of Mr. Charles Shand, who also resided on the spot.

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Above the toffy shop may be observed a cluster of dilapidated wretched-looking cottagea and buildings which seem sadly out of place in an improving neighbourhood. This was formerly a scene of busy industry, being the residence and yard of Mr. John McGeorge, for many years emphatically the builder of Everton. He was, as his name indicates, a Scotchman, who settled in Everton at the beginning of the present cebtury, and by industry and enterprise realised a handsome competence.

'Everton Toffy'
"Everton Toffy"
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
A little above the coffee-house we come upon the former seat of the manufacture for which the locality has been famous for more than a century, the far-famed "Everton Toffy," of which the juveniles of the present day, and many who were juveniles of the past, have such pleasant recollections. Though the shop before us was long one seat of the manufacture, it originated a little higher up the hill, where a certain Molly Bushell dwelt in a cottage about 1759. It is said that the recipe for the delicious compund was not the invention of Molly herself, but was given to her by a medical gentleman of Liverpool out of kindness. Would that his name had been handed down to posterity! Many men have had noble monuments erected to their memory for far less benefits to the human race. Be this as it may, Molly proved a worthy depositary of the secret. Her fame spread far and wide, and Everton toffy has long taken its place along with Banbury cakes and Ormskirk gingerbread as one of the classical confitures for juvenile delectation. The manufacture is still carried on by the descendants of Old Molly, who have so well preserved the secret that no imitations have ever yet been found which equal the original.

Adjoining the Necropolis.
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Adjoining the Necropolis, on the north side, there formerly existed a handsome mansion, with about an acre and a half of pleasure-ground. It was erected about the middle of the eighteenth century by a family named Bridge. It was afterwards occupied in succession by Richard and William Statham, who each filled the office of town-clerk. It was subsequently the residence for many years of the Rev. Jonathan Brooks, rector and archdeacon of Liverpool.

St. Stephens Church, fronting Byrom Street.
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Near the bottom of William Brown Street, fronting Byrom Street, formerly stood the quaint-looking little Church of St. Stephen. It was erected in 1722, as a Baptist Chapel, being the first and for a long time the only place of worship of the denomination in Liverpool. The original source of the Baptist churches in this part of the country was a small chapel at Hill Cliffe, a wooded height near Warrington. About A.D. 1700 Baptist services were commenced at the house of Dr. Daniel Fabius, who lived at the corner of Brunswick Road and Everton Road. After the cause had increased, the building in Byrom Street was erected. In 1772 the Rev. Samuel Medley became the pastor of this church. He was in every way an original character. He had been in early life a midshipman and master's mate in the Royal Navy, and was severely wounded whilst serving on board "Intrepid," 74, in the action off Cape Lagos, in 1759. He afterwards taught a school, and at length entered the ministry amongst the Baptists in 1766. In 1772 he entered upon his pastoral duties in Liverpool, and soon becam exceedingly popular.He bestowed great attention on the seamen frequenting the port; and from having been one of themselves, was able to find the way to their hearts by those touches of nature which "make the whole world kin." In 1773 the chapel was enlarged; but from the popularity of the pastor, a still further expansion became neceassry, and a much larger and more commodious building was erected a few undred yards to the north, at the bottom of Gerard Street, which was opened in 1789. The old chapel was soon after sold for a church connected with the Establishment, and consecrated in 1792. The projected widening of Byrom Street led to the purchase of the old church and the erection of a new building in sunstitution in the same street, a little distance to the northward, in 1871.
The new Byrom Street Chapel continued for many years the chief seat of the Baptist denomination in Liverpool; but in 1836 a rupture took place, soon after the appointment of the Rev. C.M. Birrell to the pastorate. The church had up to this period adopted what is called the close communion principle, which restricts the administration of the Lord's Supper to those who have been baptised by immersion on a profession of faith. An attempt to throw open the communion was defeated, and the dissidents withdrew, and after a time erected the handsome building at the junction of Crown and West Derby Streets, of which Mr. Birrell was long the incumbent. The Byrom Street Chapel continued to be occupied with greatly decreased numbers. About 1850 it was purchased by the London and North-Western Railway, in consequence of the Victoria Tunnel having to be constructed underneath. After the tunnel was completed it was purchased by Mr. John Johnson, in the hands of whose representatives it still continues, and is used for benevolent and religious purposes.

Hunter Street and Byrom Street, Liverpool.
From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.
Hunter Street received its appellation from Mr. Rowland Hunter, a retired tradesman and tax-collector, from Cable Street, who built and resided in a house at the corner of Byrom Street.
Byrom Street was originally a narrow lane running along the side of the brook as far as Richmond Row, where it turned up the hill towards Everton. The street took its name from George Byrom, a pavier and builder, who had his yard nearly opposite Hunter Street. In the Directory of 1781 he is described as "the town's pavier."

Shaw's Brow.
The old pot-works in Shaw's Brow became gradually appropriated to other manufactories, such as soap-works, grinding-mills, a large coach-factory, wheelwoghts' and builders' yards, etc. The original brow had been exceedingly steep. The crest of the hill was at different times lowered, leaving the houses standing on a bank raised considerably above the roadway. This street being the main access to the town from the eastward, the steepness was found a great inconvenience to the coaching traffic, which in the first quarter of the present century had acquired great importance. In the year 1821 the present Manchester Street was opened from Dale Street to St. John's Lane, thus avoiding the steep ascent by a more circuitous route. Shaw's Brow then remained comparitively deserted until the completion of St. George's Hall rendered further improvements necessary.
