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.

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