Edwardian Liverpool, 1910
Liverpool in 1910 is an immense working port still expanding into the age of steam and electricity, its docks crowded with transatlantic liners, warehouses and an elevated railway. This walk follows the riverfront and the civic heart, past tobacco warehouses and tram-lined streets to the scaffolds of the new Anglican cathedral on St James's Mount, showing commerce, industry and public grandeur in steady motion.
38 scenes — 24 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Liverpool as it stood in 1910 (“History of Liverpool”).
