Yes Mary I will refer  the queries to another forum.  The topic has sort of grown like topsy ::)  I have become quite familiar with the layout of the streets around Rumford Street since I started researching the cotton brokers in the family.

You ask where I got the name Old Hill from - it is the last line of Celia's post on the info from the directories.
There is also a William peers Cotton Broker, 15 Esplanade Waterloo and son cotton broker Old Hill.

I thank you and Celia for all your help.

Received the photos and once again a big thank you.
 You are an excellent photographer :)  It is wonderful to have the history and the older photographs to enhance the family story.

Cheers for now.
