The Water Street No. 14 Oriel Chambers, an amazingly forward looking building with huge areas of glass, built in 1864 (yes 1864!) to the design of the relatively unknown architect Peter Ellis. Pevsner describes it as "one of the most remarkable buildings of its date in Europe".

All that remains of the Liverpool Exchange Railway Station is the original facade by H. Shelmerdine built in 1884-1886 ...

.. the station interior has been replaced with fancy offices!

A modern office block complex near Moorfields Station - I find its simple symmetry quite attractive.

The fine brick architecture in Victoria Street, Liverpool, of the Jerome Building (1883) and Carlisle Buildings (1885) were designed by John Clarke for the iron founder H Rankin. Red Ruabon bricks with Red Runcorn stone dressing.

The Queen Victoria Monument in Derby Square, Liverpool, at the bottom end of Castle Street in Derby Square, and once the site of Liverpool's medieval castle

The Queen Victoria Monument is a large neo-Baroque or Beaux-Arts monument built over the former site of Liverpool Castle at Derby Square in Liverpool. It is a large ensemble featuring 26 bronze figures by C. J. Allen. The Queen Victoria monument was designed by F. M. Simpson of the Liverpool School of Architecture, in collaboration with the local architectural firm of Willink and Thicknesse and built of Portland stone. It is a Grade II Listed structure.
Sharples and Pollard, in the Liverpool volume of the Pevsner Architectural Guides, describe the work as Allen's greatest, and as one of the most ambitious monuments to Queen Victoria.

The pub The Philharmonic Hotel pub (also marked as the Philharmonic Dining Rooms) was built in 1898-1900 by Walter Thomas with steep gables and a double-curved balcony and iron gates by H. Blomfield Bare.

The splendid interior of the 'Philharmonic pub' and lovely stained glass with a musical theme, and cosy chairs and sofas to relax in.

Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall in Hope Street dates from 1937-1939 by the architect Rowse, a great venue for classical music.

Hope Place - some houses have late Georgian doorways, attractive and expensive!
