Although the evidence was overwhelming, they lacked the final piece of evidence to prove it 100%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After publishing, they were contacted by a descendant of George Hunter Robertson, who owned the house that became the Gateacre Hall Hotel. They were convinced Robertson was the person who relocated the gateway. Along with other photos, he sent Glen and Darren some notes and a photo from 1883 when the gateway had just been installed in Gateacre&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proves beyond a doubt that the structure is the front door of one of the most famous buildings in 18th century Liverpool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/gateacresociety.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slave-Gate-comparison-1024x619.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gateacresociety.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slave-Gate-comparison-1024x619.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gateacresociety.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slave-Gate-comparison-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gateacresociety.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slave-Gate-comparison-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gateacresociety.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slave-Gate-comparison-600x363.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gateacresociety.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Slave-Gate-comparison.jpg 1391w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gateacre&#8217;s Slave Gate.
