Mapping the history of Liverpool

Old maps of Liverpool

I add new maps to the site all the time. There are currently over 25 maps from the 17th to the 20th century.

Explore your local area across 300 years!

You can buy almost all the old maps on this site as high quality prints, great for framing, and as a present!

There’s also the book – Liverpool: a landscape history, also available to buy from this website.

As well as the history map, there are some more specific map tools for you to explore.

The ‘townships’ of Liverpool and beyond have individual characters built up over the centuries.

Explore the local histories of these townships, as well as the centre of Liverpool itself.

The streets of Liverpool within the boundary of Queens Drive, as they were before vast swathes were demolished in the 20th century.

You can search for a road using the box in the top left of the map.

All the parishes in the Liverpool area and slightly beyond, as they were in 1851. There are also some Anglican churches from the era.

You can see details about when they were built (and demolished) where that information is known.
