Listed Buildings in Liverpool
This is a simple map of Listed Buildings in Liverpool and Merseyside.
The region is proud of its heritage and makes claims to having more Georgian listed buildings than Bath.
Whatever the case, there is a huge number of protected buildings in Liverpool and the surrounding area. No doubt there are some where you live, that perhaps you didn’t know about.
You can now browse this map at your leisure to see where your nearest listed building is. It could even help you protect the historic character of your area, and monitor proposed developments in sensitive areas.
Every part of Liverpool has more than a handful of listed buildings, so have a look around!
Click on any point on the map and you can carry on through to the official Historic England page about that listing. Historic England are responsible for maintaining the list, and helping people conserve any of the buildings on it. See this example of the Liver Building on the Historic England list.
Note: the data comes from Historic England’s data download service, which has more than just listed buildings available for download.
Images: the photos of the listed buildings come from Historic England’s Images of England project. This was a project to get volunteers to photograph every listed building in England up to the year 2000. As such, any building listed after that year (and other buildings besides) will not have a photograph.

Martin Greaney
says:Hi Alan,
While Historic Liverpool doesn’t cover Kirkby yet, there are a lot of good resources elsewhere on the web, such as a timeline, some reminisences on the Kirkby Times site and a fact file by the Arch group. If there are any more specific things you’d like to know, do say.

says:On and off I’ve been trying to put together all I can about my birth area ….. Brunswick Road in Liverpool 6 . Only recently have I come across an Ordnance Survey Map of 1848 showing huge , high-class dwellings on Brunswick Road and on Erskine Street . This isn’t the way I experienced my young life there . Would there be any images of that time … and any 1950s 1960s photos of Brunswick Road and most especially Kinder Street ?
I enjoy these maps !

says:Hi Terry,
I’ve passed along your query to the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/historicliverpool) but I’ve also come across this one on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30593522@N05/3507423017/ It’s Erskine Street in 1970, so may be a bit later than you were hoping for, but something that may be useful to you.

Paul Curran
says:I’m tracing my family history and my father comes from Liverpool. My dad lived & grew up in Liverpool from 1931 to about 1948. Addresses I have for family there are Carnarvon street (kirkdale), Cockesill Street (off Walton Rd)…not sure if that is spelt correct…..and Carmel Street (Everton).
I believe a couple, if not all, of these roads were either destroyed in WW2 or have since been demolished.
Can anyone help? I believe I still have family living in Liverpool in the name of Richardson & Robinson & possibly Curran.
Any help is much appreciatted.
Martin Greaney
says:Hi Paul,
I’ve not been able to find the streets you mention, and you’re right, the areas they were in were heavily bombed in WWII or cleared by the wrecking ball in the decades following. Good luck with your family history.
Martin
Jim Nolan
says:The streets you are looking for can be viewed on http://www.Liverpoolhistoryprojects.co.uk
I was born near Carnarvon st, I am fairly certain these streets were demolished in the 1970’s.
I believe the other street to be Cockerall which when viewd on the plan is off Walton Rd.
Regards Jim
gaynor
says:Paul try the walton and Kirkdale group on facebook. You may find a lot of family on there too. Goodluck! X
Terry
says:Thank you for your reply which I’ve only just found today . I think this can’t possibly be the same Erskine Street —- but yours is the only answer that came . So many thanks .
michael turner
says:Yes Terry this is Erskine St L6. This house or small church was down the bottom end on the left hand side if you were coming up the hill. It was opposite a pub called the Erskine and up from a pub on the same side and on the corner of Brunswick and Erskine St which was called the Brunswick Arms. I lived on Erskine St and during the demolition period and when this house was derelict, went inside. It had congregational seating still in it. As kids we used to refer to it as Dracula’s Castle. Sorry for the very late reply, only just found this site Regards Michael T

susan northey
says:just saw your comment on leslie street,my dad lived there as a young boy,it was on the site of king gardens just off hyslop street.
Sarah
says:I totally understand that this post is a decade old, but I’ve got family that seems to have first settled in Liverpool at number 10 Leslie Street – the Census record for 1881 lists it as being in Toxteth Park.
Martin Greaney
says:Hi Peter,
I’ve not been able to find a great deal of information, except to say that Leslie Street was in Toxteth. It’s not listed on my 1890 map of Liverpool, so it might be south of Princes Park, which is off the bottom of the map.

Barrington
says:I was wondering if anyone knows where the Royal Ordnance Factory was/is located. I understand it was in Fazakerley. Also, I was curious to know if any of the original buildings are still there. I was interested in visiting the site when in Liverpool again. I am in Canada. Thank you in advance.
Martin Greaney
says:Hi Barrington,
The ROF was one of the first industries to locate on the outskirts of Liverpool in what are now our industrial and commercial estates. The one at Fazakerley was located where Long Lane industrial estate is. On the map in the Fazakerley page on this site the ROF was around where the ‘F’ in Fazakerley is.
Regards,
Martin
Barrington
says:Thank you very much for the information, Martin. I was hoping some of the original structure might still be there. Any idea where one might be able to see photographs of the original buildings? Is there an archive online perhaps?
Martin Greaney
says:You could try the English Heritage Archive (formerly the National Monuments Record). They’ve a few websites with records on, or you can email them to ask them to search. Having used (and been involved in the creation of) the websites, I’d suggest using the enquiries form on the main English Heritage website – it’s free to enquire!
Barrington
says:Thanks again, Martin.
DAVE GRIFFITHS
says:I realise this query is a year old but if you are still interested you will find a truncated entrance to this site on the corner of field lane and valley road leading into Kirkby from
fazackerly.There was another ROF site encompassed by perimeter rd the other side of kirkby,it is well documented on Kirkby/knowsley local history (council) lots of photo,s
i think you will like,hope this is of some use.
Patricia Clerkin

Andrea Ku
says:Hi Martin
My name is Andrea. I work in a ex-1960s school in Bootle where we have unearthed the original school stone from 1835. It reads, ‘Bootle National School Erected by voluntary contributions on land presente by the Earl of Derby AD 1835.’
Aside from us who work here, a lot of the local community are interested in learning more about the stone, the site and surrounding area.
We are planing a local community historic even concentrating on the L20 area of Bootle (we are off Strand Road). We would like as many old maps, photos and memories of this area/Bootle in general so we can create a whole collection of historic data to celebrate the stone we have found and the land we share today.
Just to give us a head start with the preceedings, can you suggest where is best for us to look, where to go etc? I have contacted Sefton Council, Bootle History and hope the local library service will get back to us with some treasures!
I look forward to hearing from you. If you need any more info, how we are doing or image of the stone then please let me know.
Regards
Andrea

Nav sebi
says:Does anyone know where i can get hold of map of liverpool around the time when the Town Hall was built
Martin Greaney
says:Hi Nav,
The town hall was built in 1754, so the two best maps are probably the 1725 Chadwick map or the 1785 Eyes map, depending on a before or after view. Both maps have street names, so are fairly detailed. You can Google them easily enough, although you’ll have to hunt for good quality scans. Otherwise take a trip to the Liverpool Record Office, or pick up the Scouse Press Packet No.2+2, which has tonnes of maps in.

Martin

Would this be the one?

Chris Code
says:I’m looking for Blodwen St, where my Grandad lived in 1911, which seems not to exist anymore, but may have been near Grovenor St
Brian
says:Blodwin Street was, according to the 1901 census, between Meadow Street and Juvenal Street in the Scotland Road area. There are a couple of un-named streets in the ‘square’ contained by Juvenal Street, Grosvenor Street, Chaucer Street and Scotland Road in the maps here http://www.liverpoolhistoryprojects.co.uk/liverpoolaz/streets.htm
Look for Chaucer Street, which runs from Grosvenor Street to Scotland Road. The census ‘walk’ puts Blodwin Street after Meadow Street and before Juvenal Street.
Martin Greaney
says:Hi Brian,
Thanks for helping with this issue – great research!
Regards,
Martin
Clare
says:Hi,
I am looking for Cecil Street, it used to be where the Royal Hospital now is. My mother was born there in 1953 and would love to see a picture of it but I am struggling to locate it.
Do you know where I can find any info? thanks
Su Parker
says:Hi about Penuel Road Walton on the hill & why
It was named so?
Any help appreciated,
Regards, Su 🙂
Martin Greaney
says:Hi Su,
The only clue I can find is that Penuel is a place named in the Bible, associated with Jacob’s (later, “Israel”) struggle with an angel, and so there are religious connotations, and Walton Church is close by. I’m not sure if there are more specific reasons. The road was built at the same time as the ones around it, on what looks on old maps like a formal garden next to the vicarage in the east. Perhaps the word held a special meaning to someone involved in the building of the houses.
Regards,
Martin
John J. Costello
says:Question:
Is there (or was there) a Flexler Square within Liverpool (circa 1870-1880) ?
My great grandfather & his dad sailed on Cunard Line from America to Britain.
with their final destination being Birmingham England.
Also, would Liverpool have been the initial port to go to on way to Birmngham ?
Thanks so much.
Martin Greaney
says:Hi John,
Could it have been Faulkner Square? That’s the nearest name I can find / think of, and it was residential at that time, I should think. So they may have stayed with family, friends or in a guesthouse on their journey. Do you think they would have had the means to do this? If they’re travelling *too* Liverpool then they were probably a little well off financially.
Liverpool could certainly have been a stopping-off place on the way to Birmingham, as it’s got better connections with the midlands than Bristol, which would have been the other major port for people arriving in England.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Martin
