Rembrandt Street? Grey Rock Street?

Post by ZED »

I have another 2 addresses in Liverpool that I'm trying to locate ... I'd be very grateful for any suggestions:

My grandmother's sister lived in one of the little terraced dwellings in Everton which were demolished during the 1960s. I remember being taken to visit her in the 1950s (by tram), and walking up a very steep hill. I seem to recall her address being 'Rembrandt Street' ... although I can't find any reference to a street with this name.
(She was an eccentric old lady who had refused to have electricity installed in her home, so the rooms were still lit by gaslight!)

And secondly ... I've found references to Grey Rock Street, but have been unable to pin-point exactly where it was. (My grandfather was born there!)

Bestest,
Paula.

Hi Paula

I have heard of Rembrandt Street too, My granfather's sisters lived in Aubrey Street, up Everton Brow, got a feeling it was in the same area... I rememeber walking up that hill in the 60's , up until they were demolished :wink: :lol:

Perhaps we were passing each other now and again :D

In fact I still drive past that way when I take daughter to Uni :D


I am sure the peeps will put us right...
