That's more or less how I remember it. There was a small 'jigger' (half a dozen houses) behind the Cottage called Townsend Terrace.

I find old railways and maps very interesting.
On THIS MAP you can see one of the LMS(red lines)-later it was the LNWR- coming down at a steep gradient from Edge Hill to Waterloo (LMS Goods Station ) via two tunnels - Wapping Tunnel and Victoria Tunnel -under both the Lancashire & Yorkshire (blue lines) from Liverpool Exchange to Southport line and the parallel spur to the L & Y Goods Station.(Great Howard Street Goods)
Attachment 9451
A POSSIBLE PLAN TO RE-OPEN WAS MOOTED IN 2007
Interestingly the through Boat Trains to and from U.K. destinations would use this tunnel down from Edge Hill (so avoiding having to terminate/transfer passengers at Lime Street) in order to get to Riverside Station. Riverside was accessed via the Waterloo Goods Station and then reached by using the rails of MDHB Dock Railway.
