This part of West Derby has changed very little in almost two centuries, the junction of Honey's Green Lane with Leyfield Road (previously Town Row) and Yewtree Lane was formerly known as Honey's Green. Leyfield Priory once occupied the left hand corner where there is now an ugly pub and a couple of shops. The priory was a castellated mansion built by Lord Mayor Peter Thompson who died in of bronchitis in 1876 whilst in office. He was a railway engineer responsible for many important local construction projects. https://www.icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/pdf/10.1680/imotp.1876.22633 The house was demolished in the 1950's.
