Title: Liverpool Lauder Road 1939
Post by: Stalbridge on Sunday 16 August 20 18:06 BST (UK)

Please can anyone tell me where this road was or direct me to a map which shows it? A family I am researching lived there in 1939. Was it bombed out during WW2?

I can't find a Lauder Road in Liverpool in the 1939 Register or in 1938 Kelly's. Do you mean Lander Road in Litherland?

That is certainly it Shaun. No wonder I could not find it. I was trying to read the handwriting on the actual 1939 record. Thanks for helping me. I don't suppose you know how I can find out if there was bomb damage in about 1941?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hmmm   on Liverpool Schools list there is a Lander Road Council School - if there was a bomb there I presume the school would have been mentioned
or
is there another Lander Road ??

There's only one Lander Road in the 1938 Directory:

Number 1 looks as though it has been rebuilt in recent years but otherwise the original houses seem to be intact:
