Does any one have knowledge of a dolls hospital situated on Brownlow hill Liverpool during the early 1900s?.

Maybe a Trade Directory would tell you... they are online and searchable at the University of Leicester website I think it is.

Stoop, I definitely remember a doll's hospital in Liverpool in the late 1950's (how old does that make me feel  :o).  I can't remember whether it was in Brownlow Hill or Mount Pleasant but I remember taking my dolls there for new heads, arms, legs etc. (I must have been very heavy handed I think  ;)

Had a quick look in the 1938 Gore's Directory of Liverpool but I couldn't see the Doll's hospital listed - although there were several names just listed as 'shopkeeper' so Doll's Hospital may have been one of them.

In 1925 there was a William Herbert Hughes at 21 Whitefield Road (off Breck Road), doll maker and repairer.

Hi Kelly, thank you for your response, it was sited near the Y.M.C.A. on Mount Pleasant not Brownlow hill. Apparently the shopkeeper was named Jarvis and my mother in law can remember it at the same tim as yourself, the 1950s. Regards stoop.
