>>History

The street was one of the original seven streets that made up the medieval borough founded by `F33f`_`[King John`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=John,_King_of_England]`_`f in 1207, together with `F33f`_`[Water Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Water_Street,_Liverpool]`_`f, `F33f`_`[Castle Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Castle_Street,_Liverpool]`_`f, `F33f`_`[Chapel Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Chapel_Street,_Liverpool]`_`f, `F33f`_`[Old Hall Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Old_Hall_Street]`_`f, `F33f`_`[High Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=High_Street,_Liverpool]`_`f and `F33f`_`[Dale Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Dale_Street]`_`f.`:cite-ref-liverpool-echo-jan-2016-1-0[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-liverpool-echo-jan-2016-1]`_`f] Originally, the street was known as Moor (or Moore) Street before its name was changed to the present day name.`:cite-ref-2[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-2]`_`f] Records show a barn being built in 1523 by Sir William Molyneux on the corner of the street where it meets Cheapside.`:cite-ref-3[`F5bf`_`[3`#cite-note-3]`_`f] The barn was used to store `F33f`_`[tithes`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Tithe]`_`f. Parts of the barn survived into the early 1900s.

May 1850 saw the opening of a railway station, which would come to be known as `F33f`_`[Liverpool Exchange`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Liverpool_Exchange_railway_station]`_`f.`:cite-ref-welbourn2003-79-4-0[`F5bf`_`[4`#cite-note-welbourn2003-79-4]`_`f] Jointly owned by the `F33f`_`[Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Lancashire_and_Yorkshire_Railway]`_`f and the `F33f`_`[East Lancashire Railway`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=East_Lancashire_Railway_1844–59]`_`f, the station had ten platforms at its peak. However, the `F33f`_`[Beeching cuts`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Beeching_cuts]`_`f proved to be the death knell of the station and, with mainline services moved to `F33f`_`[Liverpool Lime Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Liverpool_Lime_Street]`_`f, it closed in April 1977.`:cite-ref-5[`F5bf`_`[5`#cite-note-5]`_`f] Local services were moved to the nearby `F33f`_`[Moorfields railway station`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Moorfields_railway_station]`_`f with the creation of `F33f`_`[Merseyrail`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Merseyrail]`_`f. The frontage of the station was preserved and turned into office space, known as `F33f`_`[Mercury Court`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Mercury_Court]`_`f.

The street was the scene of a brutal murder in 1874, known as the 'Tithebarn Street Outrage' when Robert Morgan, a dock worker, was kicked to death in front of his wife and brother.`:cite-ref-6[`F5bf`_`[6`#cite-note-6]`_`f] Morgan was killed by members of Liverpool's notorious Cornermen gang when he refused to hand over ale money to 17-year-old gang member, John McCrave.`:cite-ref-7[`F5bf`_`[7`#cite-note-7]`_`f]

During World War 2, Tithebarn Street and the area around it suffered extensive damage from the Blitz and required considerable rebuilding.`:cite-ref-8[`F5bf`_`[8`#cite-note-8]`_`f] The rail route to Exchange railway station was damaged by the bombing and parts of the roof of the station had to be demolished.`:cite-ref-disused-stations-9-0[`F5bf`_`[9`#cite-note-disused-stations-9]`_`f]

In 1970, the Churchill Way Flyovers were opened, linking Tithebarn Street and Dale Street to `F33f`_`[Lime Street`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Lime_Street,_Liverpool]`_`f.`:cite-ref-10[`F5bf`_`[10`#cite-note-10]`_`f] Built as part of an inner-city ring road project that was never fully completed, the flyovers were demolished in 2019 having been deemed unsafe.

In April 2005, popular Liverpool sculpture `*`F33f`_`[Superlambanana`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Superlambanana]`_`f`* was moved to the street.`:cite-ref-11[`F5bf`_`[11`#cite-note-11]`_`f]
