Dear Sir/Madam,
I have just discovered that two members of my family lived at Grove House, Penny Lane in the 19th Century - Andrew Kurtz and his cousin (and housekeeper) Julia Williams Turner.
Can you provide me with any history and/or images of the house, or direct me to someone who can assist ?
Sincerely,
Steven Turner
Melbourne, Australia
Dovedale Towers (Grove House) Penny Lane Liverpool
Most disappointed to see that this beautiful building with so much history attached to it was closed on my last visit to Liverpool. I hope that since then it has been re-opened and cared for. Very distressing if it is left to the fate of the vandals and the elements. Liverpool council be proud of your heritage. It's bad enough that most of Edge Lane area has been demolished. I somehow don't think that the new buildings they are putting in place in the near future will stand the test of time and be there in a 100 plus years. Heartbreaking indeed to see that whole area destroyed after surviving wars etc. Save the Dovedale if this hasn't already happened...
