Photos of life on Georgian street that's like stepping back in time
The cobbled street offers a window into the past
A Georgian street with "hidden tunnels" underneath offers a window into the past.
Tucked away off Church Street in Prescot you'll find Vicarage Place, a cobbled street full of history. Many of the houses date back to the 1700s and are Grade II listed.
Through its name and location, the street has a strong association with St Mary’s Parish Church and its vicarage. Barbara Houghton has lived in a flat at number 6 Vicarage Place for the last 18 years.
Barbara moved into the flat shortly after the building, which is owned by Livv Housing, underwent a renovation. Take a tour of Vicarage Place with our photos below.
