93 Mill Street Map
2b In 1843 there is a Hanover Chapel
between 91 and 93 Mill Street but by 1858 number 93 is William Brown,
a beer retailer. The early Hanover
Chapel is known to have burnt down in 1855 and it was never
rebuilt. This may account for the fact that the 1858 Post
Office directory shows no Hanover Chapel at all in Mill Street
and there are no other chapels or missions near to this junction.
This lack of missions or chapels holds true for this junction in
1860 also. By 1881 a Baptist Mission room has appeared at number
93 Mill Street, which is still close to the junction with Jackson
Street. In 1894 this is again listed as a Baptist Mision Room,
at number 93. In 1911 the same address has had a name change to
the Myrtle Street Baptist Mission Room. In 1936 it is the Baptist
Chapel Mission Room but the address is not listed at all in 1938.
In the aftermath of WW2, there are huge gaps in the data and perhaps
the premises also - after the Liverpool Blitz. For 1946
, there are only five premises listed between 1 and 125 Mill Street. The
subsequent fate of this mission is unknown. 267 Mill Street
- Liverpool Domestic Mission
Records and History courtesy of Liverpool Record Office, Liverpool Libraries. Online catalogues at http://archive.liverpool.gov.uk This is called the Domestic
Mission Society when it first appears at this address in 1894. Number
267 is close both to the Park Place and the junction with Park Street.
(extreme left of picture). In 1911 the premises are listed as 265-267, and are the 'Hope
Street Unitarian Church Domestic Mission'. For both 1936 and
1938
the address has expanded and it appears that 261 to 287 is all the '
Liverpool Domestic Mission Society' in both directories. The same
is still true in 1946. These premises
are shown above. The Park Palace
is to the left edge of the photograph.
313 Mill Street 1881 Gore shows the Toxteth
Tabernacle Mission Room at this address, which is almost at the
junction with Harlow Street. In 1894 number 313 itself is the home
of a police constable, but there is a Toxteth Tabernacle Mission
Room un-numbered, situated somewhere between 317 and 325, 325 being
the Harlow Street junction, so a slight re-numbering appears to have taken
place. By 1911 the premises are listed as the Toxteth Social
Club Ltd. and subsequent directory searches for 1936,38 and 43 reveal
nothing helpful.

There appear to have been several missions on
Mill Street during its history. Rather than present incorrect
data I am including only what I know to be factually correct until
I can accurately trace the history of each mission individually.
