Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

I hope someone may be able to point me towards a large scale map of the area round St Thomas's church, at the end of Park Lane, around 1800, please.

I'm not aware of a detailed one for around that time online but I like the look of this map of Liverpool by R Horwood from 1803 maybe you can get to see it and take a photo:-

Not what you want but interesting links about St Thomas Church & churchyard and a c1848 map:-

Vey interesting, especially the number of pubs. You would be hard pressed to have a pint in each in one evening!

but I know some who would certainly try

My interest has stretched to the area known as 'Nova Scotia', which was probably a little nearer Mann Island, from what I remember. Any chance of another reference?

I can't find a decent sized mid 19th century map with pub detail unfortunately. The directories may help with the early pub names. Later maps include pub names in the area such as Dicky Sam Inn, Old Lifeboat, Old House, Oddfellows' Arms and Packet House.

Thanks once again, Blue. The map is just what I wanted to show where a family member once worked, but I was not on a pub crawl this time!
