Liverpool Castle
Liverpool Castle was a medieval stone castle sited at the junction of Castle Street and Lord Street overlooking The Pool, Liverpool's original tidal inlet. Built from the early 13th century and altered over the following centuries, it comprised a gatehouse with flanking towers, three (later four) round corner towers, curtain walls, and internal service buildings; the last standing fragments were removed in the early 18th century and the site redeveloped.

The shape it held in its prime.
A stone-built plateau castle surrounded by a 20-yard moat cut from solid rock, with a prominent gatehouse facing Castle Street flanked by two towers at the north‑east corner. Four curtain walls link four corner towers (three original round towers and a fourth added in 1442), the northern and southern walls recessed to be commanded from the towers. The interior contains a divided central courtyard, a hall and chapel attached to the south‑west tower, and service ranges including a brewhouse and bakehouse; an orchard extends eastward toward The Pool.
