I'm doing some family history research and need some help finding a property which existed in Wallasey in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Might still be there. Have only got the name of the house unfortunately.

I do Joyce :)
Although i wasnt around in the 1800s :D although it sometimes feels like it ;)

Where is the property and what is the full address

I was born there!! But not quite in the 1800s!!! What's the property??

Thanks for responding, lel and Anwen.
All I know is that the house was called The Laund.  It was a large red brick house which you could see when crossing the Mersey.

In the 1880s it was the home of the Harrison family who owned the Harrison Shipping Line in Liverpool.

My great grandmother was in service there but I can't look up the census records without a fuller address, unfortunately.

Any info you could provide would be great.

Hi Joyce
I have had a look through a book called Sandstone and Mortar which is about old Wallasey and there is mention in there.
It says:

"In 1857 James Harrison and his wife Jane came to live at the Laund which stood in Claremount Rd and Broadway Avenue. When his wife died in 1879 he decided to go and live in Kent where he died in 1891....The Laund became a sort of rest home for ladies and Miss M Muriel was appointed matron."

Claremount Rd and Broadway Avenue still exist but are actually classed as Wallasey Village now rather than just Wallasey.
It is about 20 mins away from where I live so when I get the chance I will pop up and see if its still there for you. :)
Do you want a picture or is it just the address you are after?

Hope that helps anyway :)

Excellent info, lel, just what I was after.
Many thanks for your trouble.

No problem :)
Glad I was of help
