This is the companion to the Plan of Liverpool (North Sheet), 1890, and is just as detailed. There is also the other half of the street directory (letters F-Z). The map shows the southern part of Liverpool, where perhaps many of our ancestors lived during the Victorian period, this being an area of dense housing. Sefton Park is part-visible in the bottom right.
The version available on this site has been adapted to colour the wards, which is why there is a pale yellow area over Toxteth.
As the map covers central Liverpool, this is the map-half that shows the Town Hall itself, as well as the Customs House where Liverpool ONE is today.

This is a beautiful piece of art in its own right, making it a wonderful object to hang in your home, and the high quality of the paper makes it perfect for framing.
Note that this map was originally 52cm (20") x 35cm (14"). To get the full detail of this map you must buy a print of at least that size. If one is not available then please contact me for a quote on an original sized print. I can't guarantee you'll be able to read the street names if you buy a postcard-sized one! :)
Note that the images on this page don’t give a great impression of just how good this map is, because the imagery has been compressed. This is a high definition print of a large digital file.
Features:

Whether as a gift for a loved one, or to treat yourself to something for hanging in the study, this map is a fascinating piece of history you’ll want to study again and again!
