    Oh God, off the top of my head???
    I can't find my copy (and

    I haven't read it in years), but I made lots of notes.
    What annoyed me so much was it said about so many buildings: "The building is Victorian" when

    other sources knew the exact dates.
    It said the Crane Building was Victorian (It was built 1913-15). It was also designed by W Aubrey Thomas (he of the

    Royal Liver Building) which they didn't know.
    Check the Lord Street Arcade - does it say that was another W Aubrey Thomas building, and that it opened in

    1901?
    So many other buildings where the architects (and dates) have always been known weren't credited with the architects (or dates).
    OK, perhaps



    they aren't all mistakes, but it still shows that the book wasn't researched very well.
    The classic mistake was showing a drawing of the 1930s meeting

    room which is next to the Ancient Chapel, and identifying it as the Ancient Chapel!
