Clevedon Terrace South Street
Hi
Does anyone have any information on Clevedon terrace south street toxteth? I am researching my ancestors and they were living here in 1851 but I can only find a Clevedon street
any information would be gratefully received
Thanks
karen
South St is next to Clevedon St, so it was possibly a block/row of houses called Clevedon Terrace that ran between the 2.
It doesn't show on my 1967 map, and I haven't got an Toxteth OS map yet, I should be getting 1 next week so I'll have a look for you when I get it. Unless someone already has one and can look.

Florist St, Edge Hill
This was Florist St. One set of my maternal gt grandparents lived there.
I remember the sign still being up a couple of years ago, but didn't know at the time they'd lived there.
They also lived in Lovat St and Mason St.

got Toxteth OS 1906 map today, but sadly it only goes up the very start of South St and Clevedon St...bummer.
so the full streets will either be on Princess Park 1905 or St Michaels 1908 OS map, neither of which I have.

Saw this on whitefield road next to the Peel pub.
but on closed inspection there seems to be rail tracks embeded in the road, there to small to be a rail/tram track, could be a small track for a works. anyone any ideas.
Had my first legal drink in the Peel. Threlfalls House IIRC.
Had a Threlfalls Brown Mix.
Lived in Hearwood Street and Granparents lived in Lombard Street.
Nice Chippy oposite the Peel. Jack Garnets. Made plenty of cash feeding the girls from B & D at dinner times.

If tomorrow starts without me, remember I was here.
Re: Clevedon Terrace:
This is shown on an old map as being just South of the Admiral Street/Devonshire Road junction. It looks to be just South of the Church. Next door to Clevedon Terrace is St. Pauls Terrace. It looks like the end of Clevedon Street was directly opposite it.

Re: Clevedon Terrace
I think this is it, but it's hard to see the writing.
Admiral Street/South Street junction:
Now that looks pretty weird! I wonder if there are many more useless "streets" like that?.

Wow-TWO streetlights for such a redundant street!

Unfinished Roads
Taking this thread a bit beyond the closed / truncated streets - there are some places in Liverpool and the suburbs where one comes across streets / roads which do not look as though they have been completed.
Perhaps the development plans of the early 20th Century did not all come to fruition.
I am just some that come to mind:
The unfinished Hartley Avenue which fades out into a track as it passes the old factory site and crosses the abandoned railway. I once saw this marked on a map once as "unfinished road".
Blackmoor Drive - north end - looks as though it was intended to go through into Aysgarth Ave or perhaps join up with Darley Drive - follow the line on Google Earth and you will see what I mean.
On Melwood Drive there is a short stub road which ends in a sandstone wall which looks older than the early 20C semis in the area. On the other side of the wall Croxteth Park.
Moving to the south side of the city there is a short stub road off Fallowfield road which looks as though it would have entered the former Smithdown Road Destructor Plant site / council yard which is now part of the Penny La retail park. Even when the council site was open there was no through road here.
There is also an interesting road which cuts across Elmsdale, Queesdale and Kingsdale Road. No houses have front doors onto this road which ends abruptly behind a Queens Drive semi.
Further south is the over engineered road leading to Speke Hall - Speke Hall Ave. Whilst this has come into its own since the expansion of the airport - how many can remember back in the years prior to the mid 80s when this was a dual carraigeway to nowhere despit it having been built in the late 1930s.
There are probably many other "Unfinished Roads" around Liverpool - but they are worth looking out for.
Perhaps some defunct plans revealing the full intentions of past planners lie in a dusty drawer somewhere?
