This late 19th century map of Liverpool has the River Mersey at the bottom, and is a modern and clean map. Despite this lack of clutter, many roads are labelled, making it easy to compare to a modern map. Many of the smaller streets were cleared along with the so-called 'slums', but many of the larger ones, like London Road, Scotland Road and Vauxhall Road are still there, some more changed than others.

Victorian pride in public buildings is evident: the Free Library is labelled, as is St George's Hall and the Post Office. The railways can be seen snaking off to West Derby in the east (at the top) as well as north and south to other towns. The docks are arrayed across the bottom of the map.

See a zoomable high resolution version of the 1898: Plan of Liverpool – Royal Atlas of England and Wales, along with all the other old maps of Liverpool in the Historic Liverpool collection.

Print of old map of Liverpool

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 46cm (18") x 36cm (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:

    • High resolution mapping – hugely detailed!
    • Beautiful Victorian workmanship
    • Printed on weighty archival paper

      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!
