More about this scene
This photograph was taken in the other direction to H277056 (page 35), looking east along Market Street. The name Hoylake refers to Hoyle Lake, a deep-water anchorage just off the shore and favoured by ships transporting cargoes of goods and passengers either along the Dee Estuary or into Liverpool. By the time the lake silted up in the 1830s, the name Hoylake had replaced Hoose, the original name of the village that nestled in the sand-hills on the fringes of Liverpool Bay. The attractive building on the left is St Luke's Methodist church.
