Lodge Lane starts at the junction of Upper Parliament Street with Smithdown Road, at the Toxteth Boundary (and the site of the aptly named Boundary Hotel. On the maps the even numbered side of Lodge Lane is on your left.

It runs past the public baths (heated by a pump used to raise water from a well in the Windsor district, behind the baths) and junctions with small streets such as Grierson Street through an area of dense housing, the latter now in decline and subject to much demolition. Between Solway Street and Ashbridge Street were the last of the once extensive ropeworks in this area. More evident in the 1905 series of maps, today these survive only as traces where they affect the street layout

Ullet Road carries on through more dense terraced housing although this gradually gives way to larger villas as it approaches Princes Park. Grove Park is one such road of splendid Victorian Villas built around 1860
 

Villas are much in evidence at  junction with Croxteth Road after which it carries on to meet with Ullet Road. The latter part has been re-christened within recent years. This is the most historically significant place in Toxteth, as it is the site of King John's Hunting Lodge.
