A map by William Swire of Liverpool created in 1824 as the city moved into the 19th century featuring a list of districts and landmarks. The docks stretch from Queens Dock in the south to the North Dock that became Waterloo Dock in 1834. Everton was a village of large houses and gardens for wealthy merchants and industrialists and clean air and views over the river. The map includes the Corporation of Liverpool coat-of-arms with a depiction of the liver bird. Bottom right features ‘A Mapp of Leverpoole 1720’, illustrating the town almost exactly a century earlier.
A map by William Swire of Liverpool and its Environs created in 1824 as the city moved into the 19th century. The map features a list of districts and landmarks while the docks stretch from Queens Dock in the south to the North Dock that became Waterloo Dock in 1834. Everton was still a separate village with large houses and gardens for wealthy merchants and industrialists and clean air and views over the river. The map displays a series of seals around the edge including the Corporation of Liverpool with a depiction of the liver bird, derived from King John’s seal of an eagle. Bottom right features ‘A Mapp of Leverpoole 1720’, illustrating the town almost exactly a century earlier.
