Anyway I heard a Scotts mill story somewhere that Judas Burning took off when the foreman got some workers the sack, so they burned an effigy of him...just another rumour going around.
Marky, when it was standing, Grove Cottage was just outside the site of the mill, but now that's it's gone the site's expanded and it's just inside.
I'll check, but I'm reasonably sure that the 1966 OS map shows the mill as standing, but Grove Cottage as already gone.
I'll have to go to the library, because I've only got the 1953 OS at home.
It was the centenary booklet for St Cleopas Church (1966) that mentioned Grove Cottage as being "recently demolished".

Incidently, one thing that annoys me about toxteth.net is that some of the articles have contributions from a number of people and they are mixed up together and the reader doesn't know who contributed what.
I like to make sure of my facts and don't like my name associated with mistakes.
Rant over.
