"In the area excavated in the previous photo, the site of the former Chester Basin, a number of carved stones were discovered. These have been identified as coming from the old 1673 Liverpool Town Hall, demolished to make way for the existing Town Hall in the 1750s. The stones had been used as infill behind the basin walls."
Very interesting! Thanks, Wallasey and PhilipG. I hope the carved stones from the old 1673 Liverpool Town Hall will be suitably displayed for the public to see in the new museum as they are one of the only tangible remainders of early Liverpool.
