Chestnut Street, Mount Pleasant

[XL391]

Boys and girls, can anyone supply any pictures or information for my dear mother and grandmother and grandfather (RIP)?????

[Kev]

Is it an existing street or one long gone? Is it older pics u are looking for?

[A.D.W]

The street is still there opposite the RC Cathedral.

Here's how it appears on the 1848 OS map.
(Liverpool Sheet 30. Reprint by Alan Godfrey.)
Note the spelling.

I think Walnut Street (shown on Philip's map above) still survives as a 'street' of sorts within the university of Liverpool campus. I'm less sure about Chestnut Street. I think it might have been built on in more recent times by the university?

Yeah it was, flattened in the mid sixties for the Uni

The University may have photo's of this street in Facilities Management Dept

I lived in number 5 Chesnut Street up until it was demolished to make way for car parking for the Uni
