Architects and their Liverpool Buildings
Whether we appreciate it or not, whether we have indifferent or fervent views on it, and regardless of whether or not we understand the often used yet baffling terminology, architecture touches us all on every day of our lives.
Many architects have left their mark upon our city, though of course the creations of some no longer exist. The evolution of the city, the ravages of time, the devastation of The Blitz, and indeed the blight of what some call ‘civic vandalism’ have all had their impact on the city we see before us today. Of course, architectural styles also change with time and perhaps now more than ever the modern architecture of the day evokes much and passionate views.
Liverpool has been blessed with some stunning buildings over time, delivered by a broad range of architects both from the city itself and elsewhere. We are very fortunate to still be recognised as the city having the most Listed Buildings outside of London. It actually houses over 2,500 listed buildings and 27 of these are Grade I. The Royal Albert Dock is the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings in the UK, made entirely out of cast iron, brick and stone. The city is of course a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site comprising of six locations including many of the city’s most famous landmarks. That this status is currently ‘at risk’ is well documented.
We are, despite the claims of some, still blessed with great architecture and indeed in some instances if we could just take away the modern street furniture it only takes a small leap of imagination to be transported back to when the buildings were first erected. The flourishing use of Liverpool as a film location pays testimony to this.
So, what of the men, and it does sadly appear to be totally male dominated, who drew up the plans for our built heritage. I have collated a list of many of these and where possible have provided links to further reading. In the buildings listed those in bold are still standing, be it whole or partly.
For the time being you will need to use ‘ctrl F’ to search by building name – (I hope to add a spreadsheet version soon) – the architects are listed alphabetically.
The following list is in no way exhaustive, and may contain discrepancies which I am happy to correct – please get in touch with corrections or additions.
