Northumberland Terrace

My Gt Grandmother (Mary Ann Worthington) lived at no. 6 Northumberland Terrace in 1939….found this out on My Heritage so she could have possibly lived there before then. She had 2 daughters although not living with her then, their names were Mercy and Alice. Don’t know much about her so if anyone has anything they could share that would be great. Thanks Diane

My gran lived in 66 Northumberland Terrace.Mrs Amelia Birkett I was born in Mill Road hospital and was christened at St Georges

My Grandmother had a shop on Northumberland Terrace. I believe it was bombed during the war. It was called Morris's and it was next door to a pub or her house was next to the pub and it was probably the Northumberland Arms. My Grandmother's name was Florence Morris and her Daughter (my Mum) was Shirley Morris. I wonder does anyone remember them.

I was unaware I had any connections to this location but have just come across your excellent website upon finding the following baptism records (via Ancestry) of one of my Ancestors in none-other than St George's , address given on all the records on the page is 39 Northumberland Terrace .... I am researching Salter/Parrott surnames for my maternal Grandmother/Great-Grandmother etc.... thankyou for your efforts as it has been very interesting to read up on :D

I lived in 77 Cresswell Mount.

There were some very large terraced houses on Northumberland Terrace. I remember these well.

What a sad site. The devastation that engulfed Northumberland Terrace in the 1960s, its once grand houses and famous streets now gone. Thank goodness for the landmark building that is the historic St George's Church. Of course, if you happened to be walking in exactly the same position now you would be in the greenery of the modern Everton Park.Every cloud has a silver lining, as they say, but I still believe many of the old streets could have been saved and renovated with a careful and methodical strategy by the council. Not all of them, of course, but a community is not just about grass and trees, as a crucial as they are in a world in which protection of the 'environment' has never been so important. It's striking that crucial balance that is so important.

How many people have walked up these famous steps since 1814 to the historic St George's 'Iron' Church.

Looking down on Northumberland Terrace and St George’s Church and school from Cresswell Mount, the latter being one of the first high rise blocks to go up in the 1960s. This fascinating picture of Bessie Braddock MP pointing out the view was uploaded to the Netherfield Road Facebook platform by Denis Hargreaves.

Denis Hargreaves of the Netherfield Rd & SA Facebook platform says: '1970s? A horse belonging to Sid Welsh grazing on wasteland between Northumberland Terrace and Heyworth St. with St George's Heights in the background.'

An intriguing view of the west tower of St George's Church and vicarage on the Northumberland Terrace side.

St George’s Church on Northumberland Terrace, early 1960s. Can you spot the roof of your house on the streets below the church like Caros, Pyramid, Ewbank, Havelock, Joshua, Daniel, Somerville and others? A sea of family living, all destroyed by the clearances.

Denis Hargreaves uploaded this classic picture to the Netherfield Road Facebook platform. The houses have been bulldozed on the west side of the Terrace above which three boys discuss the technical merits of one bike. We often shared with our mates, sometimes for the loan of his steering cart! The boys stand on Nothumberland Terrace, the houses on the left being the rears of houses in Upper High St with the John Bagot Hospital perimiter wall on the right

The Windy House on the corner of Prioty Rd and Northumberland Terrace. The photo also shows the 'oller' on the corner of Priory Mount where a chapel once stood which was damaged in the 'May' blitz. It was demolished in 1947.

Looking along Northumberland Terrace from the top of St Georges Hill. Cresswell Mount on the left. St Georges Church in the distance.

The photo shows the yellow bricked, three storey high houses which were situated from Grecian Terrace to approximately the top of Joshua Street, no's 58 to 70. My grandmother, Mrs Birkett lived in the third property from the left (no.66). On the corner with Grecian Terrace stood Seddons fruit shop and next door a grocers, Mr Gardeners. At the other end of the block was a chip shop known as Chans.

The bombed out streets below Northumberland Terrace between Mitford and Fairy Streets. My father Harry Rogers always recalled seeing the German parachute mine floating overhead that caused so much WW2 destruction on this site.

The former Our Lady Immaculate site as thousands will remember it. See the change below.

A fascinating picture capturing two school sites. The old Our Lady Immaculate school on the corner of Northumberland Terrace and York Terrace, is in its demolition phase, captured from the new school site.

Ken Rogers talks to a packed gathering at one of the Lost Tribe of Everton Street reunions at St George's Church. The image on the screen shows the impressive village on the hill that was ancient Everton.

A classic artist's impression of the 1814 St George's Church.

Great picture Roy. That looks like the St George's School boundary wall with the church. I think I can see the old library tower poking over the top. Using the scroll to the right or left arrows you can see another great St George's playground picture. Thanks for this special memory of Northumberland Terrrace where I had a mate called John Butler.

HAPPY DAY,S !!

The moon above St George's Church and Northumberland Terrace are mirrored by the lights in Great Homer Street on a dark evening.

The top of Northumberland Terrace was a favourite place to start steering cart races. Boys here use a steep bomb site vantage point.
