toxteth.net > places >  eliza jackson home

On the 21 May 1877 the Eliza Jackson Home in North Hill Street opened. It provided homes for six "poor spinsters and widows of the Jewish faith" and carried weekly allowances for the residents. The Home was built with a bequest by Miss Eliza Jackson and an endowment fund created by her sister Henrietta Braham and vested in the Old Hebrew Congregation.

It is recorded as an orphanage in 1881 and 1891 (census) and in a list of orphanages in 1895.

the 1881 Kelly's places this accurately between 26 and 34 North Hill Street, mentioning Letitia Street and Hodges Mount on either side (which accords with the numbering) and placing it adjacent to Bore's Hair works, which agrees with the map.

The Home closed in 1958.

A second orphanage is mentioned in North Hil Street - in 1891 census another is called 'Liverpool Charity Mission and Home for Orphans'. The address was 135 North Hill Street and an orphanage (same one?) is also at 137.
