The steep Victorian terraces with views out over the River Mersey which make up Liverpool's "Bread Streets" are some of the most well-known streets of the Dingle in Liverpool 8 .
Since starring in Carla Lane's 1980s comedy Bread, they have been known, for better or worse, as the Bread Streets and are almost iconic symbols of Liverpool's urban Victorian terraces.
It might be tempting to think that Bread is the only loaf-based connection to the streets, but the area is actually baked in a history that connects Dingle to the flour processing industry to this day.
Nearby Mill Street, once a thriving hub of the Dingle heartlands, was first mentioned in a directory of Liverpool streets in the 1840s.
According to local historian John Harrison, who runs tours of Liverpool 8 and a popular Facebook group called Memories of Liverpool 8 , Wilson's flour Mill had been situated in that area "for about 200 years until it was demolished in the 1960s".
There was also an earlier water mill in the area, which had been constructed in the 1400s and was demolished some time prior to the development of the area's hallmark Victorian terraces, including the Bread Streets.
The terraces were built during Liverpool's population explosion and the city's super-expansion during the 19th century.
In Richard Bennett's 1896 publication, The King's Mills of Ancient Liverpool, Bennett refers to "the largest and most valuable King's windmill in Liverpool, called Eastham Mill, in the fifteen, sixteen and seventeenth centuries, stood near the head of the Dingle".
Windmills were often used to process corn and, in later years, the flour-processing industry had a key role in the Dingle area because of the huge grain silo that was located at Brunswick Dock.
Corn Street and Mill Street are two names that reveal this link to Dingle's heritage, and historian John Harrison explains that there were also a number of other streets in the vicinity of the Victorian Wilson's Mill that had bread connections.
John said: "There used be a Grain Street, and a couple of others with similar names related to the Mill, such as Bran Street."
To this day, Corn Street sits in the vicinity of a large flour processing facility, run by multi-national company ADM Mills.
There is also Grain Industrial estate and now demolished streets included Bran Street and Grain Street, which reveal the bread connection to this part of the Dingle which long predates the famous Liverpool sitcom.
