Our Neighbourhood

Outside London, Liverpool has more listed buildings than any other city. There are 2,500 in fact, 27 of which are Grade I and 85 Grade II*. Hope Street has one of the former and 13 of the latter so we want to show off a little (the city also has the highest number of public sculptures outside the capital, so we’ll throw a couple of those in too).

Here is a potted history of the life and times of some of our neighbours.
