So when are they building this?
Bolton Street, behind Lime Street
My great great grandfather, a dockyard porter, was living with his family at 13 Court, Bolton Street in 1851.
I understand these old courts were terrible dumps with groups of slum houses surrounding a single outside toilet that served for all the houses in the court. The sewage would often run out and form open cesspools of stinking filth in the courtyard.
Will Bolton Street disappear with this new development?
I wouldn't be sorry, just interested.
In the 1850s his family moved around to different rented houses, Queens Place, Hodgsons Place, Clayton Street in various Courts..7,13,18.
Can you wonder that so many people died in childhood those days.
His son William made a great leap forward and moved out to Wavertree.
