Description
Liverpool's position as the main trading port in the United Kingdom across the Atlantic in the eighteenth century saw the city become one of the largest and wealthiest in the country. During the next century, Liverpool's population grew rapidly as the city became a centre for trade, technology and commerce, attracting immigrants from all over the world, as well as Ireland and Wales. Surrounding towns such as Birkenhead, St Helens and Southport also thrived in this period and joined with Liverpool to form the county of Merseyside in 1974.
Churches of Merseyside reveals the variety of historic church buildings in Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area and their significance, not only from the Georgian and Victorian periods but earlier and later eras too. These unique buildings have special architectural, artistic, historic and social interest and have represented their local areas for centuries, which includes the Anglican buildings but also Roman Catholic and non-denominational chapels, culminating in Liverpool's two cathedrals. This fascinating picture of an important part of the history of Merseyside over the centuries will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this area.
