60th Anniversary AGM inc. lecture ‘Liverpool Scottish’, by Joseph Sharples

The Liverpool Regional Group of the Victorian Society welcomes all to our 60th anniversary AGM and lecture presented by Joseph Sharples, at the Grade II* listed Liverpool Medical Institution.

Victorian Liverpool has a wealth of Scottish connections, from the Gladstone family to the Aberdeen granite columns of St George’s Hall. From his new home in Glasgow, Joseph Sharples (author of the Pevsner Architectural Guide to Liverpool) will reflect on some less familiar Caledonian links, especially with the great metropolis on the Clyde, Liverpool’s rival for the title ‘Second City of the Empire’.

The event will take place in the historic surroundings of the lecture theatre of the Grade II* listed Liverpool Medical Institution, established by one of the oldest medical societies in the world. Built to a design by Clark Rampling, the building opened in 1837, the year Queen Victoria came to the throne.

The Liverpool Regional group of the Victorian Society raises awareness of the Victorian architectural heritage of all of Merseyside and further into Cheshire and South-West Lancashire through events including visits and talks. To join this group, please email: [email protected] .
