Just off Dale Street, in the city centre, lies 10 Hockenhall Alley.
The Grade II listed building is one of the oldest surviving workers' dwellings in the city dating back to the late 18th century. It believed to have been built between 1765 and 1785 when the alley was laid out off Dale Street, one of the seven streets of medieval Liverpool.
With just one room to each floor, the pint-sized house offers an insight into what inner-city living conditions were like for some of the poorest members of society at that time.

The history of the property was recently explored by a popular TikTok channel that focuses on the history of Liverpool.
The exact date the other houses in the row were demolished is unknown but it’s thought to have been some time around the 1880s. The name "Hockenhall" was taken from the name of an old Cheshire family and the building was later used as a pharmacy, followed by a clock repairer - John Nelson’s workshop.
Photos taken inside it, as part of a heritage assessment in 2015, show some of the building's original features to have survived, including a small ground-floor fireplace and narrow winder stair with a rope handrail.
Locals have raised concerns about future plans for the building with many saying they would like to see it restored for people to visit and learn about its fascinating history.
TikTok channel, Living Liverpool Tour, details some of the history of the alley in a video. The video states: "This neglected building is one of the oldest houses still standing in the city centre.
"Unlike many of the grander homes around the city, it would have been home to a working class individual or family. As city industries grew, Dale Street expanded, resulting in much of the housing being forcibly repossessed."
