'Another bit from Memorials of Liverpool.'

Another one from the book previously mentioned:

'A little farther north a handsome detached villa was erected by Mr. William Skelhorn. It was afterwards purchased and occupied by Alderman John Brown, who was mayor of Liverpool in 1782. Extensive stabling belonging to it was erected on the opposite side of the road, near the corner of Roscommon Street; two villas were built in the early years of this century by Mr. William Robinson, the senior of a family who for many years carried on an extensive bookselling and stationery establishment in Castle Street, and whose descendants have distinguished themselves in other walks of life'.
