I am very pleased to be taking part in the 2023 Festival of Archeology. For 12 years, I have created paintings of historic Liverpool (now c.30), using multiple sources, at various points throughout a c. 300 year period to try to bring the City’s past to life #ArchMol23 A watercolour landscape showing an aerial view of Liverpool as it would have looked in 1675 showing the castle, undeveloped fields, many old streets and the river Mersey with shipping 2/15
For later dates, (e.g. L’pool Pier Head and surround 1907), greater accuracy is possible (100s of photos, mapping improves, more landscape art, and some buildings or fragments survive (though few). A new view, predating 3 graces & unseen since - emerges
