Arthur St Toxteth Park, (Sth Liverpool)
« on: Saturday 17 May 08 08:28 BST (UK) »
Hi can anyone tell me if Arthur St still exists, in particular number 21, my Grandfather Herbert was born and lived there until the mid 1890's with his parents Albert & Mary Isaac along with his brother and sisters.   In the 1991 census his occupation was given as Apprentice Gardener, he migrated to Tasmania, Australia by 1896.   I would appreciate any help.
Kind regards
Peter Isaac.

Hi Peter,
I tried google maps - there is an Arthur Street in Garston, which is the north of Liverpool but no Arthur Street in Toxteth (which is south) today.
There are some people who have old maps of Liverpool who I hope will be able to help you further.

Hi Peter

Arthur Street, Toxteth Park has been re-developed. It was in South Toxteth Park near the Dingle - http://www.toxteth.net/maps/liverpool/lpool5c.htm. If you click on the red arrow you will see a photograph of the street in 1969. No 21 would be between the lamp post and the first car on the opposite side of the road.

The other half is on square 5D. These maps are from 1906. If you right click each square, and save them, you can stitch them together using something like Paint.

If you search for Beloe Street on Google Maps and switch to satellite view you can see what is there now. A bit north west of the tree I would guess.

Great photo - thanks Ken. Gee the 60's has a lot to answer for. Such a shame to lose those houses.

Add the necessary santiation, heating etc, by all means but I wish they'd kept the houses  Cry

And each of those cobbles (sorry: setts) would be worth at least £2 each.

My grandfather Herbert Isaac lived at 21 Arthur Street back in 1891. I`m also sorry that his house he once lived in is no longer standing. I don`t know why they had to demolish it. I have also seen the photo of Arthur Street on Toxteth.net. At least I was able to see what it looked like. My grandfather would have lived near where the fire hydrant was. [ I think it is a fire hydrant].

Garston is to the South of the Dingle
If you are from the Dingle(Toxteth park)
You refer to yourself  as a Southender.
Or as being from the Southend.
But Garston is not in the North of Liverpool

Ruskie…Cobble is as taken from a beach or river, ie rounded. Setts are ‘worked’ from quarried material.

Johngirl…your firehydrant is my lamppost. Do we have fire hydrants above ground?

Sorry km1971 I thought it was a firehydrant. My eyes must need checking. I live in Tassie and our firehydrants are in the ground also so I should have realised it was a light pole. I will take a better look at it next time.
