Almost all the old maps on this site can be bought 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.

Congratulations on an excellent site. I admire all the work you’ve evidently put in. I wish I had such application!
I wasn’t able to follow the link to your shop, it kept bringing back to the same page. I hope this is a temporary issue.

Hi Tinho,
Thanks so much for your comments. Yes, the shop issue was temporary – I went away so shut the shop down, but forgot to remove the extra links! It’s back up and running now, with new stuff to be added soon as well.
Regards,
Martin
