Spellow Place is the cobbled lane below the skip that links Union Street and Fazakerley Street, and it is a rare survivor from the 1850 O.S. Town Plan. Even the older looking properties seem to date to a period later than 1850, and they stand side by side with other ultra-modern properties. Union Street now curves round, where buildings once stood, and it links through to Rumford Place, which wasn't a through road until more recently.
