Does it particularly increase our historical understanding to know the current prices listed by Zoopla for properties in L18

"Does it particularly increase our historical understanding to know the current prices listed by Zoopla for properties in L18" Yes, I think so - the current prices are very high for Liverpool so we get some idea of the area in which Crown was raised.

Yes, this was my thinking.

We could presumably get that by some phrase such as "he lived in a well-to-do part of Liverpool" unless we think that house prices eighty years later are a useful historical guide

This ignores the effect of gentrification where the slums of eighty years ago are the desirable Victorian villas of today. Notting HIll is just one such example. Data is not information.
