Set back from Wavertree High Street is a road of 36 Victorian houses with The Edinburgh pub at the end. Mostly built between 1848 and 1852, Orford Street was home to gardeners, blacksmiths and coachmen employed by the wealthy inhabitants of nearby mansions like Olive Mount on Mill Lane.
One that was once occupied by an engine maker is now home to Lydia Rimmer, a history teacher who moved here from Warrington in January 2020. She told the ECHO: "We just love it here. We love the character, we love the area, there's just so much charm. I'm a history teacher as well, so I love the history of the street. I love that I get to be part of it, I just wish they didn't cost so much money to do up."
