Anyone know where this was?

Post by Hilary »

Does anyone know where Melbourne Place Roscoe Lane Liverpool was/is? I have distant Australian family visiting this weekend and their ancestor left from their in the 1850s.

Many thanks

Melbourne Place will likely have been a court off Roscoe Lane. I can't find a decent map showing the names of those courts. The best one has those courts numbered not named and is poor quality.

Thanks for the map it's great. The family's ancestor was living there in 1851 so it's just the right time.
