This is on the downward slope of Smithdown Road and is just
outside the Toxteth Park
boundary (red)
Griffiths's 1907 history of Toxteth gives
this as the
site of the crossing of the Lower
Brook across Smithdown Road however the gradients here would not allow this. Lower
Brook actually crosses at the base of the hill, around the Cemetery gates.
However there is a very small stream shown here on an old
map, crossing in the reverse direction and flowing down Mulliner
Street, in the direction of the gradient. This is within the
smallholding then called 'Brook Farm'. This is unrelated either
to the Brook House or the Lower
Brook. In 1911 Gore, 'The Mulliner' pub was called 'The Brook Farm'.
