Kelly's Directory of Liverpool & Birkenhead, 1894. [Part 1: Liverpool], page 416
- 93 & 05 Upper Essex Street - Bridewell Police & Fire station

Shown on 1891 1:500 OS map, still on 1954/1955 1:2500 OS map, but not marked as fire station in between, so appears 1906 date is incorrect

"Liverpool’s Finest – The history of the city’s Fire Brigade" by Gavin F. Bassie
- fire station, here in 1860, so either dates are incorrrect or there was an earlier station in Essex Street. Hosereel & ladder station in 1900. Still in operation 1910
