10. and 11. Cross Liverpool Road at Ewloe Place. Various members of the Catherall family lived here in the eighteenth century. Two large brickworks, Gibson's Belmomt Works and Catherall's Ewloe Works, were situated nearby until about 1920.

The water filled clay hole of the latter is now a fishing pool.

Jonathan Catherall (1760 - 1833), a wealthy brick master and industrialist, lived in an old tavern, now the Hope and Anchor Public House. When his pottery kilns and brickworks increased around the site, he moved to Hawkesbury Place in 1801. Clinker walls composed of kiln-fired waste mark the boundary of several enclosures in this locality.
