Can anyone help me please ?

I visit Liverpool a couple of times a year.  I once stayed in a convent in Aigburth area of Liverpool which was run by the Little Sisters of the Poor.  This order of sisters cared for the elderly and I remember the buildings were quite old.  I think the Little Sisters sold the site in the 1980's, but I would really love to visit the site and to know what has been built in its place.  This order also had a home in Belmond Road Liverpool which has also been sold.  As my aunt is now a very elderly member of the community, I would really love any information I can get about these convents, as I have very happy memories of visits there.

Hello your Lordship..

There was a convent on Aigburth road Grassendale end
on the corner of Grassendale road and Aigburth road
it was turned into a housing estate late 80s early 1990s.
if you look it up on google maps
you will see the garage on the corner at one side
it is not too far from Aigburth Cricket club on Aigburth road
it also is a little further up from the catholic church
on the opposite side of the road called st Austins
