Who lived in your street? John McVey Baird and family of 268 Glebe Point Road
Posted on 30th May 2024Members of the Baird family lived at today’s 268 Glebe Point Road for over seven decades. Their house called Eglinton was demolished in 1968 and home units now cover the site. The present building next door at Number 270 dates from 1891, replacing another which was Eglinton’s twin. The history of the occupation of Eglinton is fascinating.
Christina Clark of Arcadia Road and her descendants
Posted on 27th March 2024The Clark family lived in three Arcadia Road houses for the best part of a century. Around the turn of the 20th-century, Christina Clark bought two lots in the Toxteth House Estate from George Boyce Allen and built the eye-catching two-storey semis at Numbers 12 and 14 Arcadia Road. The more modest 16 Arcadia Road was built by her son a few years later. Find out about this family and their longstanding connection with Arcadia Road.
