Former Branch Bank of England, Castle Street, Liverpool
Another smashing job by Charles Robert Cockerell, 1846-48, following on from his branch in Manchester (
Image]), with which there are clear parallels. Pevsner describes it as "one of the masterpiece of Victorian commercial architecture ... combining Greek, Roman and Renaissance in a remarkably vigorous and inventive way." The main facade has giant fluted Roman Doric columns, a Greek key frieze, rusticated quoins, open pediment, and, round the corner, three mighty windows within rusticated arches. Grade I listed.
It lies empty, awaiting a new tenant seeking as prestigious offices as Liverpool has to offer.

47 Castle Street, Liverpool
Built for Equity & Law, 1970, to the designs of Quiggin & Gee. Boxed-out windows which, Pevsner thinks, echo Oriel Chambers (

Built as the National Bank, 1863, by William Culshaw or Henry Sumners. Generously-proportioned Italianate with a typically emphatic cornice. The protruding shopfronts between the columns are later.

Queen Victoria Monument, Derby Square
The Queen Victoria Monument stands in Derby Square, on the corner of Lord Street and Castle Street, on the site once occupied by the Liverpool Castle. It was unveiled in 1906, designed by F.M. Simpson, the first professor of architecture at Liverpool University. The monument is decorated with sculpture of the highest quality. The lower figures represent agriculture, commerce, education and industry while the upper ones represent wisdom, justice, charity and peace. On top of the dome stands the figure of Fame.
