Queries about 3 streets in Liverpool

Dovedale Towers


Hello,
I just have a few queries about 3 streets in Liverpool and hope that you can help me and whether the buildings I am interested in still exist. Can you tell me whether I am correct in my comments below.
The places were all lived in by a child who was sent to Canada in 1897 aged 10 with the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society. This child's descendants are returning to Liverpool and would like to see the places where she lived.
Walton Workhouse, Rice Lane. (I understand that this building is now converted into apartments but parts still exist and could be seen.
Fullwood House Aigburth Road 1890. Think that this building may have been demolished. As the children were moved to Penny Lane. (see below)
Grove Mount, Penny Lane: don't know anything about this.
Any help you can give me would be wonderful.
I look forward to any help.
Good wishes,

Lesley

Lower Breck House

Hi from Canada:
I have been researching for years trying to find the institution my Father was placed in, at the age of five,
after the death of his Mother. I have finally found him and his sister in 1911 living at a "charitable institution" located at 14 Lower Breck Road.
I am most interested in finding out any history about this
institution and if any records are available.
I have been reading about Lower Breck House, and am wondering if this could have been the institution where they lived. My Father stayed there till he was eighteen, then sent to Canada with Salvation Army Immigrant Children in 1924.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Fazakerley Cottage Homes if "The Liverpool Review" still exists?


I was a resident in Fazakerley Cottage Homes, Liverpool, and we have now have an Association for ex-residents and their offspring. I am the editor of the Association Newsletter and I have been sent two articles which were photocopied from "The Liverpool Review". The articles are dated May 10, 1890 and May 17, 1890. Can you please inform me if "The Liverpool Review" still exists? If it does I would want to ask for permission to print the articles.

I am planning to print these articles in two forms. One is a a stand-alone publication as an A5 booklet, for sale to members of the Association, who will be attending our reunion on Saturday, June 20th 2009, in order to help raise funds to keep our Association going. The other plan is to serialise it in our Newsletter, which is sent out free to members about four times a year. I am wondering if I would be infringing any copyright if I were to produce these publications with
the said articles. I wonder if someone in your Society could comment on anything I have put in this message.

May I take this opportunity to thank you in advance.

Regards,

Edward Schleising.
