Hello.
I wonder if someone could give me an idea of what Jordan Street was like in the 1840’s. Were the houses in ‘courts’? Also New Bird Street and Marston St, Mill Lane Everton. I’ve looked online but can’t find much info.
Regards
David
The census returns for the mentioned streets should give an indication if there were courts.
If you have access to the old Newspapers, Liverpool Mercury, search Jordan St for example may bring up adverts for properties in the street and give an idea of type, size and rent.
Thanks for that!
Seems like a lot of people living in Jordan St… mostly Irish-born and labourers. Do you know when the court-style housing was demolished in that area? 1950’s?
