This comprehensive guide to the buildings of South-West Lancashire
treats each city, town, and village in a detailed gazetteer. The
great port city of Liverpool dominates, with its cathedrals, mighty
commercial buildings and warehouses, and Georgian inner city. Full
accounts are also given of the suburbs and industrial towns beyond.
But most of the area remains rural, and in this distinctive
landscape are found such memorable buildings as Sefton church,
Speke Hall, and the Georgian country houses of Knowsley, ancestral
seat of the Earls of Derby, and Ince Blundell, with its
extraordinary Neoclassical sculpture gallery. Numerous maps and
plans, color photographs, indexes, and an illustrated glossary
complete this volume.
