Walks through
History: Liverpool
David Lewis
Liverpool is a great city to explore on foot. It
has many interesting buildings and stories, some very
beautiful parks and gardens, and many different urban
landscapes, from the breezy hills and football stadiums
of Everton and Anfield to the salty industry of the
docks and the fascinating back streets and grandeur
of the city centre. It is a small and compact city
and can easily be walked across in two or three hours.
This book of Liverpool walks is a celebration of
the beauty and poetry of the city, the unexpected
names and people encountered, and the ever-changing
landscapes. It is a guidebook to the city’s
odd corners, and a practical handbook of urban exploration.
The walks featured include industrial walks for the
serious urban explorer, such as the 12-mile line of
the old Overhead Railway; family walks through attractive
areas of the city and suburbs; and architectural walks
to discover the city’s rich heritage of buildings.
