MAY PLACE
div>
May Place, in Broadgreen Road, was built in about 1760 by a gentleman who was reputedly as African slave trader and who later married as Indian princess.
Leter residents were a Mr Papayanni ( a shipowner ), Mr Spence ( who allowed the local Methodists to hold their first meetings in his garden ), Mr Austin ( who apparently had 20 children ), Reverend Wilson ( Chaplain to Lord Derby ) and Mr Walker ( a wholesale grocer ).
The house then became a Catholic Girls School and is now St. Vincents Hospice.
