Ranelagh Street, Liverpool. 200 years ago.
A bit of artistic licence is going on.
The street is made to appear much wider than it actually was.
This was usual.
The map is dated 1823-24.
Great Charlotte Street is the first street on the right,
Cases Street is the first street at the Church Street end.
The shops in Church Street are quite tall being 5 stories high -
of course this is before elevators were invented.
The churches from left to right are:
St Peter's in Church Street;
St Georges in Derby Square, Lord Street;
and St Nicholas, the only one which survives.
