I have tried the knowsley local history website and no matches turn up.

Garstonite, thanks but i wanted pictures of what it looked like in the 1900s or even earlier.

A transcription of the 1901 census for Prescot, including Bond Street,  is downloadable from my site.

There are two images on the Knowsley site (attached)

Thanks for those pictures Stephen. My family ( the Stott family) lived in various houses in Bond Street. I have found records for number 16, number 8, 6, 3, 17 and 19. I called up there on Saturday and number 16 is still there. Do you think that it is the original house?

I suppose that depends on your definition of "original".

Bond Street is shown on the 1848 map (below), though I doubt if they are the same properties as are in place today.
