History

Castle Street was located near Hemmings Row and was also part of an area that included a workhouse, which became significant due to its proximity to St Martin’s Lane before it was demolished in 1886 during the creation of Charing Cross Road. [2] [3] Castle Street housed Archbishop Tenison’s Library, a charitable institution founded in 1684, which remained on the street until its demolition in 1886. [4]

Castle street covered the area around Castle Street, in Liverpool's central business district. It connected Liverpool's town hall with the waterfront. It was primarily a commercial area, and had a commercial and business population.
