Olive Mount Children's Hospital
Olive Mount - whether this 18th century mansion gave its name to the hill on which it stood, or vice versa, is not known. It was built in the early 1790's for James Swan, a grocer and tea dealer, the location was, no doubt, chosen for its elevated position with views across open countryside. The house is typically Georgian in style and built of local cream sandstone.
In 1897 the estate was purchased by the Liverpool Select Vestry, for the building of Cottage Homes for the pauper children of Wavertree. Sixteen homes and two schools were built in the extensive grounds of Olive Mount and opened in 1901, later blocks were added for infants. When the Poor Law was abolished, the Olive Mount estate became a Children's Hospital, which after 1955 specialised in the care of people with learning difficulties. It was eventually closed and other than the original house, lodge and superintendent's house, virtually all of the buildings were demolished in 1991.
