    RESIDENTS and workers have welcomed plans to transform a rundown Liverpool high street and create scores of jobs.

    The multi-million pound scheme would see ageing buildings in the centre of Edge Hill pulled down and replaced with shops and flats.

    At the centre of the Wavertree Road development would be a new Taskers DIY superstore, generating 100 jobs, and a large supermarket.

    Smaller shops, blocks of flats, and offices, including new premises for Wavertree customer focus centre and JobCentre Plus, would also be built.

    Liverpool council is now working with developer Neptune and Taskers on a detailed plan. continues.....

    Well as long as they don't come any closer to Highgate Street/Mason Street or Smithdown Lane I'll be happy - centre of the tunnels activity there!

    Default Edge Hill Railway Cottages

    I'm keen to find out as much info about these buildings, why on earth are they still there for a start in their present state? Is there any plans for restoration? Are there any older pictures of them etc?







    Cheers

    I'm pretty certain they were cottages for railway workers at Edge Hill Station.
    I'll check maps and get back.

    Later.
    I should have checked my street directory first!
    In 1936, the various addresses in that part of Tunnel Road were all occupied by different coal merchants.
    After studying maps, they seem too small to be separate houses, and only seem big enough to contain one room each.
    There's also no open space at the back of the properties, so it looks like they were probably built as offices (in the 1860s or 1870s) - more than likely by the railway company.

    Surprisingly LOL that's the old antiques shop on Tunnel Road - built in 1840 and was recently going to be demolished if the council had their way!!

    It once stood next to the Tunnel Hotel on Tunnel Road.

    Yeah, they were not there in 1838 - that's one of my maps of Edge Hill - Tunnel road wasn't even built then! They do appear as one block on my 1908 map though.

    Personally you would think they had another level at some point - lots of the houses in Edge Hill were taken down a level for unknown reasons - even the Mount Vernon pub used to be a 3 story building!!

    It's not from LLC archives I can tell you that Kev. It's the curved portion of the gate on the right hand side of my drawing.
