Everton Village

Everton Village.

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.

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