Description
Liverpool's Georgian heritage is a testament to its rapid growth as a major port in the 18th and 19th centuries. The city's ambitious building programme, driven by its prosperity and population, has left behind a lasting legacy of magnificent buildings and squares. This book explores the full range of Liverpool's Georgian architecture, from well-known landmarks and public buildings to lesser-known docks, commercial and industrial structures, churches, and individual houses. The author also delves into the city's lost heritage, examining buildings that no longer stand, including those that were once dock and mercantile buildings, leisure and entertainment venues, and churches. Illustrated throughout, this book offers a fascinating exploration of Liverpool's Georgian past, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of this vibrant city.
