Dale Street is a thoroughfare in Liverpool city centre, England.
The street was one of the original seven streets that made up the medieval borough founded by King John in 1207, together with Castle Street, Old Hall Street, Chapel Street, High Street, Tithebarn Street and Water Street.[1] It contains many Grade II listed buildings.[2]
Alois Hitler Jr, the half brother of Adolf Hitler, ran a restaurant there. Bridget Hitler, the wife of Alois, maintained that Adolf lived with them in Liverpool from 1912 to 1913[3] while he was on the run for dodging the draft in his native Austria-Hungary.
In 1970, the Churchill Way Flyovers were opened, linking Dale Street and Tithebarn Street to Lime Street.[4] 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.
