The building was I understand demolished in the early 20th C. It seems it was in a poor state of repair and like many other mansions, the wealthy had moved out with the encroachment of the masses. It dated from the early 18th C I believe.Quote:

An evocative description of how life would have been in the grand Liverpool mansions may be found in Barry Unsworth's wonderful slavery novel- and Booker Prize winner- 'Sacred Hunger'. Highly recommended if you haven't yet read it.
I'd love to know where Anfield Priory was. I've never been able to find anything on the internet about it.
I can only assume it would have been along by the cemetery and Priory rd was named after it.
This picture is from the Chambre Hardman collection.
I'll dig out my old maps at home unless someone beats me to it today.
The photo wasn't taken by him becaues it's too early.Quote:

Does it actually say Anfield Priory?
Priory Road takes its name from a house called Walton Priory, the site of which is now part of the cemetery.
I was being presumptuous there ! I may be mistaken by presuming it's a Hardman photo, but this site has a lot of Hardman images.

That information comes from Liverpool Libraries.Quote:

On the other hand Walton Priory could have been known by another name, but I try not to make assumptions, because they could be misread or taken for facts.
Try doing a Google for Walton Priory.
Excellent Allerton pix Kev!

What happened to Thingwall Hall??? Was this lost after the past few attempts to restore it?
Burnt down in mysterious circumstances....like any other fine building attached to a plot of land that houses can be built on....:rolleyes:Quote:
