Help please, Lambert St West Derby
« on: Saturday 30 January 10 21:08 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Would someone know if 19 Lambert Street West Derby is still standing and if so is it possible for someone to take a photo for me.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

It seems unlikely that Lambert Street still exists as I can't find it on any modern maps.  Large areas of that part of Liverpool have been bulldozed and completely redeveloped.

Thanks David

I am trying to find the information for a friend, her uncle lived at the address  he died, he was only 2 years old.

She asked me if I would be able to get a photo of the house.

Thanks again

Hi Nessie

Lambert Street ran from 101 London Road to Islington and is still there - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1DSGI_ENUK320&q=norton+street,+liverpool&cr=countryUK%7CcountryGB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Norton+St,+Liverpool,+Merseyside+L3&gl=uk&ei=JEBlS56RKoO80gTpw-XYBg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CAwQ8gEwAA

If you drag the 'Street View' yellow man to it you will get a picture. The bottom dog leg is not part of the original street. And the houses have gone.

It was part of the West Derby Union, and nothing to do with the modern day West Derby village which is 3-4 miles away.

Hi Ken

Thanks for your help, I have had a look at the map. I think I am going to be having some fun spending the next few hours on the site. ;D ;D ;D

It's a shame the houses have gone now.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me.
