Watercolour reconstruction; Liverpool 1823. . What existed before St. George's Hall? The first Liverpool Infirmary and asylum, the Seaman's Hospital, a cattle market pre Lime Street station, St John's church, and Shaw's Brow before the grandeur of William Brown Street. Nothing remains.

Watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool, 1769; the delta of Church Street and Hanover Street: featuring St. Peter's church (the 'pro-cathedral') and the Blue Coat School. Based on a contemporary map by John Perry. Left, the lengthy tree-lined rope walks that would become Bold Street.

The images below are just a quick taster of what I've been posting on Twitter since 2019.
If things 'take-off' I'll be posting here daily.
