An 1875 view of Castle Street where Williams and Powell had their shop. J. Sewill's watch and chronometer shop on the right side was #61 Castle Street so the gun shop was probably at the distant end of the block, also on the right side. The Liverpool town hall is in the distance and still stands. The Williams and Powell establishment must have been fairly prosperous to have had their shop on this street. Castle Street was the center of Liverpool's financial and mercantile district and is among the oldest streets in the city.
