Walks Through History: Liverpool,
David Lewis -
a celebration of the beauty and poetry of the city, the unexpected streets
and places encountered and the restless urban landscape. This book of
Liverpool walks is a guidebook to the city's odd corners and a practical
handbook of urban exploration. Nearly eight centuries of history have left
their mark on Liverpool in street names and stories, from the breezy hill
at Everton and the salty industry of the docks, to the grandeur of the
city centre and the wide green spaces of Sefton Park. Exploring the city
on foot shows us things invisible to the bus passenger hurrying to work;
cast-iron street lamps on cobbled back streets, ornate fountains, quiet
pubs, crumbling Gothic churches and mediaeval stonework. In this book,
there are walks finding the hidden history and architecture of the city
centre, family walks through Liverpool's wealth of parks and gardens, and
journeys through the older industrial city for the serious urban explorer.
Detailed directions are given, along with bus and train routes to and from
the walks, convenient stopping or resting places, and suggested diversions
or alternatives. Limited availability. Published March 07.
