Liverpools landscape; both in the city centre and throughout its historic suburbs; is studded with institutional buildings; some - like the great hospitals - very prominent; others - like Sunday Schools and chapels - punctuating ordinary street scenes. All; however; tell the story of how charity and public authorities responded to the desperate need of the poor and vulnerable in the 19th century. Attractively illustrated by photographs and drawings; this book emphasises the importance of institutional buildings to our understanding of Liverpools character and demonstrates how new uses can be found to ensure that they continue to form part of the citys historic environment.

Its so nice to see familiar places as they were in generations past. Glossy; thick paper. What can I say - if you like history and are familiar with the area; this is a must have!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
