Does anyone know where Lower Harrington Street was around 1850-1860? I've seen the same address (No 60) variously referred to as Lower Harrington Street and also simply Harrington Street. Its always referred to as Toxteth and I can see an Upper Harrington Street both on today's map and on the 1847 OS map which makes me suspect that Lower Harrington Street must be somewhere near - but I can't spot it!

It was probably built over, and my guess is that it would be on the river side of Beaufort St.

Hi,
The 1861 census summary sheet has #1Lower Harrington Street immediately following 3 House, 9 Court, Croston Street [at least it looks like Croston Street] without a break.

Haven't found Croston Street yet though.... It isn't indexed in the 1871, '81, or '91, so I think it may well have been built over and Lower Harrington Street with it, as suggested by Daggers.

In 1851 [HO107 piece 2187 folio 199 page 27], the summary page reads after #62 Grafton Street: "The end of the west side of Grafton St". The notation is immediately followed by #67 Lower Harrington Street.

Grafton Street is here: http://www.liverpoolhistoryprojects.co. ... az/T11.htm

Found it! Definitively found on the 1847 OS map. Its not been built over - it stil exists today as Caryl Street. Brunswick Railway Station fronts (maybe backs - not clear on the map) onto it. Between Grafton Street and Sefton Street. Also has a gas works and the Mersey Steel and Iron Works on it (Kaber Court today) at the south end and a Borax Works , Turpentine Distillary and several timber yards at the north end.

Thanks All - it was dickiesam's reference to Grafton Street that got me searching in the right place.

Hi Andrew,
Good result! Glad to have been of help.

Thanks I have been looking for that street as well.

Both Harringtons in Toxteth Park are shown here in this map from 1835:-

Thanks Blue.
It was called lower Harrington street in the 1841 and 1851 censuses.
Using the first page, thanks for the tip, it runs from Stanhope St To Parliament street.
It also mentions crow St and Sefton St. South side of Edna st. Quay marsh side of Coberg st? Further thoughts please.

Hi Lynne,

Are you still unsure about this location? Caryl Street used to be called Harrington Street or Lower Harrington Street.

My map shows the two Harringtons:-

1. Upper Harrington Street - Between James Place and Bedford Street (now called Beaufort Street).

2. Harrington Street - Off Stanhope Street (also called Lower Harrington Street now called Caryl Street).

Thanks Blue. did not know which one it was though I guess with them living at 70, then the longer Street would be it.
Thanks again
Lynne
