Try the 1939 register, I suggest.

It was there in 1901 -- just for starters.

Head was a Thomas C Telford aged 54 from Scotland. Occupation Cotton Warehouseman.
He had a wife Alice and 10 children at home at that point - children born Liverpool, then Bebington.
Also a Servant.

According to https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/ the house at that address was demolished between 1899 and 1912 1901 and 1911
You can see the 1899 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/333104/386683/12/100492
and the 1912 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/333104/386683/12/101234

471 is on the 1981-1982 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/333104/386683/13/100951

In 1891 - the Head was Robert Simpson aged 49 from Bromborough - a Coal Merchant? (hard to decipher) -- with 3 children and a niece.

I am not sure if town boundaries may have changed before 1891 as I can only see New Chester Rd in Bebington and other places, unless I'm missing something. Maybe someone else can see if they have better luck.

  It is possible that the numbering system has been changed during the last 116  years.    There has been a lot of redevelopment over the years.
