Description

Crosby and Blundellsands Through Time by Hugh Hollinghurst explores the history and transformation of two adjacent villages in Merseyside. Crosby, once a remote farming settlement, has evolved into a suburb of Liverpool, while its neighbour, Little Crosby, retains much of its rural charm. The village of Blundellsands was designed in the late 19th century as an affluent retreat for Liverpool's elite, offering stunning views over the Irish Sea and surrounding countryside. Despite facing challenges from erosion and development, this picturesque haven has been preserved, featuring Antony Gormley's iconic iron sculptures, Another Place. This book offers a unique glimpse into the history and character of these two villages, revealing their changing fortunes and enduring charm.
