    Just wondering if there are any photos/sketches of Solomon's House? The guy who invented Balm of Gilead, and had a massive mausoleum in his grounds...

    Hi MissInformed

    The house and mausoleum are mentioned in Robert Griffiths' History of the Royal and Ancient Park of Toxteth Liverpool, pp 151-154, but there is no illustration. I can't recall seeing an illustration of them either. You can see a portrait of Dr. Solomon at

    Dingle was THE place to live in the 1830s.

    Are these drawings on a disk, or does the library scan them for you?

    completely wondering the same thing kev!
    i think it is probably because there is alot more money and people with money allerton way, to preserve and upkeep these great houses and estates...

    but then if toxteth park/dingle had such rich people to begin with (i.e the time these great houses were built) did not their families keep the houses?

    exactly, i would have assumed that wealth was pretty much equal whether you lived in Dingle or Allerton.

    They were too near to town, and the newly-built terrace streets.
    Also too near to industry and grime.

    The wealthy from the city centre first settled in Everton, then the Dingle, and then Aigburth, although there were isolated estates further out as shown by your pics of Highfield, Dovecot, etc.
    Those were only demolished comparitively recently for housing estates.
