They have been continually built since pre 1837.
Pre 1837 building still erect in Liverpool, irrespective of style may be more than Bath.
Georgian "styled buildings? Bath.
One thing is clear Liverpool did have more buildings built before 1837 and more Georgian "styled" buildings.
Well, it can mean 'era', or 'style' [associated with that era]. Just like we can refer to St George's Hall as being a 'classical' building, even though we know it's from the Victorian era [started 1841]. So you're right in that a building can be known by the 'style' of the era it refers to.

'Liverpool has more Georgian buildings than Bath' is a claim [for me] about authenticity, not about style though. If not, then I could equally claim that 'London has more 'classical' buildings than Rome'. Granted, they are in the style of classical Rome, or classical Athens, but no seriously minded person would entertain this claim for a second.
