Christian Street

Christain Street, Liverpool

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.

Should the above be of interest to you, you are advised to view the original article, as this is not necessarily an exact 'transcript'.
