Where was St Catherine/Catharine Street Higher Tranmere? (I know there was a Catherine st running from Claughton Rd to Grange Road where the main entrance to Asda is now). Trying to place where a Hare Inn may have been . Thought the directory may have meant Harp Inn but found Hare in 2 street directories
According to various sources, the Black Horse Inn/Hotel has stood on the same site or near enough since 1757.
The 1861 Mawdsley Directory has, Ellen Garner, Black Horse Inn, St Catherine Street. The 1861 census also has the Garner family recorded in St Catherine St, also John Lewis, St Catherine Street.
The enumerator also recorded, Church Terrace, Langley Buildings? Some I can't decipher, Terraces, Farms and St Catherine Street followed by Prenton Lane.
Suggestion is, Church Road existed and St Catherine Street was a continuation of it, at a later date it all became Church Road.
God help us, Come yourself, Don't send Jesus, This is no place for children.
