Liverpool Part 4: urban landscape
Join us on a historical tour of Liverpool. World famous for The Beatles and its football clubs, Liverpool has a rich and influential history and magnificent architectural heritage. Ye Olde Guide explores the history of English towns and cities in four categories: Politics & War, Arts & Culture, Science & Industry, and Urban Landscape.
In the fourth of four parts covering Liverpool we’ll explore the rich architecture of the city, including the monumental Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Liverpool has one of the largest Georgian centres in the country, a mercantile banking district and the famous three graces by the waterfront. We will discuss St Georges Hall, the two magnificent cathedrals, and the legacy of the enormous shipping industry. We will explore how housing conditions changed over the centuries.
