I would like any new buildings in or on the edge of the Georgian Quarter built in the same style.
Georgian style buildings have been continually built for over 200 years.
Nice bit of spin WW.
Georgian building's should really be classed by the era in which they were built...certainly no later than 1837, when Victoria came to the throne. Some speculator's suggest no later than 1830, with the death of King George IV - he was also Prince Regent during his father's reign, during the madness of George III. Therefore we have the 'Regency era' running in parallel with the Georgian era, from 1811-1820, and when George III died, the Prince Regent became King George IV reigning 1820 - 1830. His brother, William IV, followed in a short reign from 1830 - 1837, and therefore ending the Georgian era for some.
Georgian era periods often cited:
1714 - 1811 Prince Regent takes over from his mad father King George III
1714 - 1820 On the Death of mad King George III.
1714 - 1830 On the death of King George IV [he was also Prince Regent 1811-1820]
1714 - 1837 On the death of King William IV. This period is less often included...because his name's William, and not George.
1837 Queen Victoria accends the throne. Incidentally Victoria herself [niece of William IV] was the last member of the House of Hanover [1714 - 1901].
The popular vote is that the Georgian era is 1714 - 1830, signifying the end of the four successive king's named 'George'. The period 1830 -1837, under William IV, leaves an uncomfortable gap disliked by historians so much, and have often cited this period as late Georgian...just to fill the space between the Georgian and Victorian eras. All however, belong to the German House of Hanover.
So the claim, Liverpool has more Georgian buildings than Bath [a Georgian town], as much as I'd like to believe it, is more than likely to be false.
I'll wait for the claim, Liverpool has more Georgian-styled buildings than Bath, here we may succeed?
