Just a little photo of the Chavasse statue on Abercromby Square for you as I thought it looked quite beautiful in the snow!

I know those of you coming back for more huggests on Abercromby Square itself may be disappointed, so I'd like to reward you for your patience and kindness. Some time back I was going through the archives in the Maritime Museum and came across the full listing of furnishings for the bankrupcy sale of 19 Abercromby Square in the 1860s. Looking at floorplans, evidence from the letters of the occupants and references elsewhere I was intending to write an article on how the house would have looked at the time.
While I never finished the full article, I did complete a 'tour guide' to the house based on all the remaining evidence, so see how it looked. So please help yourself to A Tour of 19 Abercomby Square in 1865. As it seems quite wet n cold outside at the minute, I thought you might enjoy a photo of the Victoria Building at the University, which I took a few years back. No image manipulation, just a lovely genuine rainbow!
I'll carry on posting the photos I have for a while, but for those of you on facebook, if you haven't already, why not join the Liverpool History Society page, and the Liverpool New & Old Pictures group. They're both fantasic sites with lots of information on the history of the City!
For the New Year, an old photograph of the Anglican Cathedral being built (just to balance the one below), and the 'Lost Boys Garden' before it's gentrification.
