Going by the 81 Census, there were plenty of cotton merchants living downtown but most were born elsewhere. Brierley was still in the city amongst the foreign-born cotton merchants but he was still young and on his way up, I guess.
There were maybe a dozen foreign-born. Out of about 13 born in Liverpool, they are equally distributed in the city (Mount Pleasant), Toxteth Park, West Derby, and outside of Liverpool, with one in Everton.
So I guess someone could make allowances again for good guesswork and say he doesn't actually have to live very near the concert halls for Florie to take the carriage to Brierley's house. It just so happened he did.
