Hi Waterways
My point is that from those views you don't get the inside details of what the castle looked like, you only see it from a distance and usually from the water. This is why one of the references on the castle is entitled, E.W. Cox, 1892, 'An Attempt to Recover the Plans of the Castle of Liverpool from Authentic records; Considered in Connection with Medieval Principles of Defence and Construction,'
Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society Vol42 p195-254 [map, plans, diag]
Mr Cox's investigation resulted in the conjectural detailed drawing seen at the top of Mike Royden's page on the castle

I see there was a replica of what they thought the castle looked like built at Rivington. See
