RESIDENCES

1830 – Breck Lane, Liverpool
“There are also three other dwellings, and three other gardens, on the east of the garden last named [ed. residence of Mr. Richardson]. They are pretty little hobby-horsical spots for the Liverpool cits [citizens] to spend their leisure time at in summer, when many an agreeable and merry tea-drinking party meets. These gardens are bounded on the east by two dwellings, with grounds attached; at the largest, and which is his property, resides William Pickering, Esq., Mecklenburgh Counsil, and a highly respectable corn-factor of Liverpool. Mr. Pickering is extensively connected with foreigh commerce, and is one of those truly useful persons who, when the laws will permit, imports corn into our ports — that absolutely necessary and veritable staff of life; he is also one of those who, if legislatords did not interfere, would, under the permission of Providence, never suffer family to pay even a transient visit to our (in most respects) highly favoured land. Excepting on locality 21, e, no other part of the south-east district of Everton has been yet submitted to the builder’s operations.”
