Looking NE up Copperas Hill from beside the Adelphi hotel, to the left, the newly built student accommodation on land previously occupied by a coach station and to the right the Royal Mail Liverpool HQ. Copperas was the old name for Copper Sulphate, which was produced at works owned by the Hughes family which was forced to move in 1756 due to the foul smell! Frank Hornby, inventor of the famous Meccano set, was born here in 1863.
