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."
