This charming bit of old Wallasey left standing on the corner of Egerton Grove was opposite the General Post Office and comprised three cottages dating back to the late sixteenth century. It was a long and low thatched building made of sandstone and whitewashed. At some time the roof to the left-hand cottage had been changed to slate. The right-hand cottage was particularly distinctive for the wide border of seashell decoration embedded in plaster around the end window opening. The cottages were demolished in 1924 and Hebron Hall was built on the site. Egerton Grove was so named for the large number of trees growing both sides of the little road.
