Castle Street (Liverpool Ward)
Castle Street is a defunct electoral ward in Liverpool, in Merseyside, England, and part of the Liverpool Riverside parliamentary. Castle street is bordered to the north by the Exchange ward, to the south by the Port of Liverpool, the Lord Street and Church Street to the east and River Mersey to the west. Historically, it was part of Lancashire before the establishment of Merseyside.

History

Castle Street was located near Hemmings Row and was also part of an area that included a workhouse, which became significant due to its proximity to St Martin’s Lane before it was demolished in 1886 during the creation of Charing Cross Road. Castle Street housed Archbishop Tenison’s Library, a charitable institution founded in 1684, which remained on the street until its demolition in 1886.

Castle street covered the area around Castle Street, in Liverpool's central business district. It connected Liverpool's town hall with the waterfront. It was primarily a commercial area, and had a commercial and business population.
