Using over 200 illustrations, Robert Nicholls has compiled a comprehensively illustrated guide to all that is remarkable of curious in Merseyside.
Whether it be unusual buildings, natural features or just places associated with a fascinating story, these pages reveal an area abounding in interest. Many are connected with the rich maritime past of the area - when Liverpool was the second port of the Empire. See Titanic-related memorials, Britain's largest cathedral organ, a series of tunnels built to lead nowhere, lighthouses built inland, the back-to-front town hall, and the 'Puzzle Stones' as well as more recent reminders of the area's contributors to the world of sport and popular music.
Over 140 Curiosities of Merseyside can be found within these pages. For long-time residents of the area or for visitors this book will guide the reader to a wonderful range of interesting places to explore by car, public transport or on foot.
