Oh great! A car park. 

Yes, the side by side maps are excellent. If they line up properly (some seem to be better than others) you can even use your mouse to trace outlines of buildings, roads etc which can be very handy when buildings have been removed or extended.

Sorry I messed up the link to Old Maps in my previous post - Stan's is a better one anyway.

If you go to https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=53.4098&lon=-2.9240&layers=168&b=1
in the bottom left you will see "Change transparency of overlay:" and a blue button, moving this to the left overlays the old map with the modern view.

The City of Liverpool Licensing Report Book, 1909, has The Edge Lane Hotel  at 492, Thos Middleton, manager for owners Mounsey and Glendenning, one room licensed on ground floor for Music and Singing.  Billiard room, one table, on first floor. There is more on the other addresses if you want it.

Thanks for that top tip Stan, very useful!  I have used the side by side maps many times but didn't know about the overlay.

Yes thank you if you think it would be helpful that would be great!

You probably have enough to locate the building you wanted but for the record, 522 Edge Lane was Crown Vaults, and 532 was Kimberley Arms, both Peter Walker & Sons tenanted pubs.
