Lancashire: Liverpool and the South-West by Richard Pollard

Lancashire: Liverpool and the South-West by Richard Pollard

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.

Colin Amery, Times Literary Supplement 'The greatest endeavour of popular architectural scholarship in the world.' Jonathan Meades, The Observer 'They are reference books in the best sense, bursting with information and invaluable to architectural scholars and the lay enthusiast alike.' John Chisholm, The Daily Telegraph"

Richard Pollard attended Christ’s College Cambridge and the Courtauld Institute of Art before becoming secretary of SAVE Britain’s Heritage. He contributed to the Pevsner Architectural Guide to Liverpool.
