My in-laws have lived in the Grove for 80 years. And my father-in-law as unofficial “warden” of the Grove installed a series of wooden bollards on the payment near the dog-leg in the Grove - a few remain- to prevent vehicles encroaching on & damaging the payment. Have lost count of the number of times I’ve struck those bollards in my various cars over past 50+ years!!
Going to make a statement ... wow did not think stuff like this existed any more . I watch another video of yours . Foy d tou by accident . I am giving you very top marks , for your finds and posts . You are going to get 1000 / 1000 . For your finds . This stuff deserves very high marks . Shropshire lad . 😊
Hi George and Eric, this was a blast from the past. l remember delivering the Mersey Mart with my daughter a very long time ago. l forgot it was there. You can easily pass it without knowing it was a road with lovely old buildings 👍
The building you said was Rose cottage wasn't, Rose cottage was situated at the bottom of Hesketh st of left hand side, i know this as my father owned the cottage, it was three single rooms on top of each other, The cottage had been demolished and turned into a backyard for the last house on right of hadassah grove. That is why there is a driveway in Newland close that goes nowhere, it provided access to the cottage.
You missed the green plaque on number 17 Hadassah Grove that explains the origin of the name. Timber merchant John Wilson Williams bought the land from the eatate of a deceased corn merchant (John Gibnons) to build the street and named it after his wife Sophia Hadassah Williams, formerly Diggles, who he married in 1831.
Brilliant info cheers if i knew it was there id have stopped by it I may at some point do a re visit here as im getting some brilliant info about this place Thanks for watching and the info
To be fair, just watched it again and there is vegetation covering the plaque on the wall. Go to 3 minutes 9 seconds on the video and the plaque is on the wall to the left of the doorway you're looking at, but behind the veg.
Well done, chaps. I find this very interesting. I'm researching the long Regency England. I think the oldest house is the black and white one. It was built during the Reign of our King William IV. Thank you. Mrs D in Yorkshire. 😊
Such beautiful buildings. Just watching you walk down there is brilliant. I have not walked in that area. Maybe it is time to visit areas that i lived near as a child. I remember my mother talking about the big houses and rich families but in those days it was two different worlds. Xxx
Lordy people who bought last but one house at the bottom on right totally did not get the vibe of the place and should have moved somewhere else…… Great vid
I remember marantos was the place to be yonks ago all my mates used to rave about it is it really that good? You probably wont see eric for ages now he pops up when he wants ha ha
Is it any good ive never been and i may try it one day Mad how i grew up in surrounding areas and never even bothered with this place its quite nice i like it....not really a fan of eating on the road though lol Thanks for watching matey
@@g2emedia1977 Are there Mews houses in Liverpool? All the ones in London used to be stables for the horses and cart drivers/chauffeurs for the bigger houses.
George have you looked at north drive and south drive off mill lane in wavertree? It was a gated area years ago, huge houses, one has giant stone dogs on each side of the main door.
I grew up in the Lane, my Grandmother lived in the first house on the left in Hadassah Grove, there was was never a Kharkiv sign in the 60s/70s, it would be interesting to find how that got there.
The barbers isn’t shut down, got my hair cut there 2 weeks ago! Paul has been there for well over 50 years… he could teach you a thing or two about the Lane
What a Beauty. I didn't even know this was there. They would have been people of substance that lived in some of those Houses mate. I wonder if it was some sort of Jewish community back in the day? On the street names HADASSAH is a Girls name in Hebrew & KHARKIV is a city in The Ukraine. Places like that are just full of character.
Hi George How can I email you to chat with you about something amazing ,I’m local and recently found something that needs exploring but I need to go into a lot of detail but not on here?
Interesting to see so many of the houses had their windows bricked up and once bricked up ,had not installed windows.I wonder if this was a result of The Window Tax ( Perhaps a Conservative government will bring back ) .I wonder how many people living in these houses fell ill as a consequence. The window tax was a property tax in England and Wales from 1696 to 1851 that was based on the number of windows in a house. It was also introduced in Scotland in 1748 and repealed in both countries in 1851. The tax was intended to reflect a property owner's prosperity and ensure that people paid taxes based on their income. It consisted of two parts: Flat rate: Two shillings per house, which is about £15 in modern terms Variable rate: Based on the number of windows in the property The tax was unpopular and caused a national outcry, with some believing the term "daylight robbery" originated at this time. People became more susceptible to diseases such as cholera, small pox, and typhus without adequate lighting and ventilation, and a popular campaign against the tax began to gain strength. Some people even bricked up their windows to avoid paying the tax. A motion to repeal the tax failed by three votes in April 1850, but a national campaign throughout 1850 and 1851 eventually led to its repeal in 1851. 😮
Couldn`t have much of an outcry if the tax existed for 155 years before it was repealed lol...A lot of them were bricked-up purely because as people got wealthier over the years they wanted to put more furniture like wardrobes and bookcases against the walls and hang paintings on them too.
Great history tour. Loved it. I must have passed this a few times. The road name sounded biblical ? Just googled it. It's a girls name of hebrew origin. Meaning myrtle tree ( peace )
You need to be tuned into the scouse youtube subtitles are useless Ill break it down for you... 2 men explore one of liverpools oldest roads one says wow then says hidden gem the other says wow then 2 men leave Thanks for watching...
Do some food reviews from Lark Lane. Plenty of good food and reasonable prices when you consider the price of a McDonald's these days. Meat Me (Greek) Yum Cha (Chinese) Elif (Turkish). Plenty of others but they are my go to.

Fascinating, I never knew it existed. A similar road in Manchester is Moon Grove.
I love the little hidden old roads like this

Love it, love the old structures, 😊
Marantos, is a quality restaurant and pub been there several times. Nice to see Eric is back.
I remember marantos was the place to be yonks ago all my mates used to rave about it is it really that good?
You probably wont see eric for ages now he pops up when he wants ha ha
@g2emedia1977 Not been for a while but yes it was that good, but not cheap.
My old haunt, all the times I've been sat there having a pint and I didn't know the significance of that street! great video

Walked down Lark Lane literally hundreds of times and never been down that street 😬
Deffo worth a look next time you are there
I often thought about walking down there thanks, try looking up Marmaduke Street in Wavertree, thats old too, thanks interesting
Deffo worth a look cheers ill check out the street aswell
It’s lovely!
I had friends living in Hadassah Grove some 50 years ag o - academics who favoured the Lark Lane area.
Interesting video George, good to see Eric.
Thanks brian glad you enjoyed the video good to see him out for once ha ha
Windows were bricked up like Rose cottage when the window tax was introduced. That’s where the saying ‘daylight robbery’ originated
72 yrs on this planet and only NOW I get that phrase 😅
Ha ha me to
Brilliant cheers
Looks great. Pity some have left the bushes to overgrow. Would look amazing with all it cut back.
I remember the airgun shop, when it was the Webley Tempest and the gat 😂
Some of those garages well may have been stables, at on time there were hundreds of stables up and down the country.
Ahh yeh thats a good shout never thought of that
@@g2emedia1977 Are there Mews houses in Liverpool? All the ones in London used to be stables for the horses and cart drivers/chauffeurs for the bigger houses.

Love those roads, lived in North drive for a couple of months years ago in the weirdest shaped house .
@@Delred1 was it the big one on the corner? It's divided into flats. I looked after the lady who owned it years ago as her home carer.
You should look for Hailie Selassie's haunts. He used to live on Bertram Road and hang out in The Albert
I grew up in the Lane, my Grandmother lived in the first house on the left in Hadassah Grove, there was was never a Kharkiv sign in the 60s/70s, it would be interesting to find how that got there.
Kharkiv also known as Kharkov is the second-largest city in Ukraine. Located in the northeast of the country.
As a bin man I can’t begin to tell you how much I hate this road. Long way to the wagon on lark lane when pulling two heavy bins.
We did miss ya Eric 🥰
Noooo we never lol
Really enjoyed that video just a small point when you pan the camera around can you do it slower thanks
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video
Ill try my best on panning...cheers
