The central arch leads through to aquadrangle, into which, many horse-drawn carriages would have arrived in the 1860`s. They would have carried both cotton traders, and many of the Confederate Naval officers who passed through liverpool. Including among others, John Newland Maffitt, Raphael Semmes, James Iredell Waddell, and John Wilkinson. |
The blue vehicle at left in the photograph, is parked outside the entrance to
Bulloch House (aka number 10 Rumford Place). There is an archway visible to
the rear of the grey vehicle, this leads into a courtyard. Above the arch hangs a plaque
with representations of President Jefferson Davis, James Dunwoody Bulloch
and Raphael Semmes.
