Been looking at two books I've had for a bit.Buildings of Liverpool by the Liverpool Heritage Bureau,1978.And Liverpool by Joseph Sharples,2004. Both have 'walks' around the city,the Heritage book also has a wider area.With lots of info about the buildings.The Sharples,an architectural historian at L,pool Uni, book giving details of the architect.Well worth a look at if you can find them.
Sharples book is great - also Pevsners guide.
I'll second the Sharples guide, great! And it's pocket sized - just.Quote:

I frequently borrowed this book over the years now I have my own.
Also a book on fighter planes from the start of aviation to 1994 when the book was published. It cost ?50 when new, I got it for ?2.20p. It weighs about 8 pound with over 2,500 photos and 3000 line drawings
Taffy recommended this book to me - Ordinary Landscapes, Special Places: Anfield, Breckfield, and the growth of Liverpool's suburbs.
