The house would have been where Sensor City Liverpool is now with the lowest numbers starting where the LJMU Student Life Building stands. Number 15 was on the side of the street without any courts. If you look at that side on old maps the houses start further forward then are set back a bit. The first house to be set back is number 13 so 15 is the next one that's set back.

Here's a side by side map with the left map showing Segrave Street and the right map showing the area as it is now. Move the cursor to trace where the street once stood:-

Hi

Welcome to the forum. The information already posted saying Dance street became Segrave Street is correct here is an 1836 map showing it when it was still Dance Street:-

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Statutory Declaration on Death Certificate from 1928
« on: Saturday 09 September 23 10:44 BST (UK)  »
I have one of these amendments on a death record for an ancestor who died in Belfast in 1893. Most of his family were in Liverpool and may not have realised he had died at the time. Nearly two years after the death his daughter and daughter in law must have gone to Belfast, seen his death information and gave the corrections at that time which were added in note form beside the entry. An additional one entry record has also been added to the page with the same information but with text underneath certifying the entry, the amendment, including signature, date etc.

These record images were viewable on Family Search for at least a few years but they are not available now. Here's a search page on Ancestry that will bring up records for this chapel:

Lancashire / Re: KIRKDALE HOMES, LIVERPOOL
« on: Monday 28 August 23 22:03 BST (UK)  »
Quote from: April Hack on Saturday 26 August 23 20:18 BST (UK)
I am attempting to decipher the meaning of 'inmate' for the Kirkdale Homes 241, Westminster Road. address on an ancestor of mine where he lived in 1939. Could the inmate refer to being instituted as a mental patient or could it refer to a workhouse? My ancestor was 40 years old. Thank you!

'Inmate' was an old term that seems to infer confinement but 'patient' or 'resident' would be a better term here. It started out as 'Kirkdale Homes for the aged and infirm' in 1904. Infirmity would infer that some patients may not have been aged but would have been mentally or physically impaired in some way. In 1939 Kirkdale Homes was run by Liverpool City Council. In 1948 it was run by Liverpool City Council and the Regional Hospital Board. They became 'Westminster House Home for elderly people' in the early 1950s. It closed in 1968 and the buildings were demolished. This historical information comes from this site:-

Hello

Thank you so much for the map and information, you have been a great help, I now know where my 3rd Great Grandfather stayed while the ship was in dock, as I assume that's what the building was used for. I am chuffed with this. Thank you so much.

This type of housing was once very common it was called court housing. In Liverpool court housing started out with their own names. Grand sounding names with endings like 'Buildings", 'Place' and 'Terrace' but they were usually the worst type of housing at that time. In later census records these addresses were more likely to be identified by a court number and a house number rather than by a name. Perhaps because the names used could be confused with other locations. For example your Latimer Buildings might be assumed to be in Latimer Street rather than in Slade Street.
