Street map for 75 Rathbone Street, off Washington Street, Liverpool
« on: Saturday 21 December 24 17:10 GMT (UK) »
Further to my enquiry on Bartholomew Place, off Roscoe Street, Liverpool,  which I have now located, my next address that my mum’s siblings lived at was 75 Rathbone Street.Liverpool. So once again “Rootschatters” if any one can direct me to where I can find this address. I have an envelope dated 1910. Mum wasn’t born until 8/2/1914. Which I know the family had then moved to Bartholomew Place.
So any help greatly appreciated.
Litherland Lass.

You have posted on the How to Use Rootschat board (Please don’t post requests here)

I have asked the moderator to move your post to the Lancashire board

Rathbone Street still exists & if you Google it - you will see it’s location etc

It is almost a continuation of Roscoe Street southwards.  Directly south of St. Mark's Church.

A bit of history for 75 Rathbone Street: there is an item in the Liverpool Albion, 28th September 1840 announcing the establishment, at that address, of a "Benevolent House" run by the Liverpool Society for Reclaiming Unfortunate Females. Inmates were instructed in “the employments of Dressmaking, Millinery and Plain Sewing”.

Here is a side-by-side map view showing where Rathbone Place was alongside a modern map. If you know Liverpool this should all make sense.

The left hand map panel  is centred on the junctions of Roscoe Street and Rathbone Street with Upper Duke Street. Roscoe Street is running north across Knight Street and is still there today; Rathbone Street is running south from the offset junction. You can see from the modern map that Rathbone Street has been replaced by the modern development beside the Anglican Cathedral. You can zoom and scroll on this map view.

The newspaper item that I mentioned above says that number 75 is "the third house from Upper Parliament Street", so if you scroll down in the map view, following Rathbone Street all the way to its southern end you will reach that area, and the junction with Upper Parliament Street.
