Huskisson Street, LIVERPOOL, L8 7LN

Seen from the junction with Percy Street.

The church, built in 1829-30 to the design of Samuel Rowland, is graced by a very impressive hexastyle Ionic portico. "The best surviving Neoclassical church in the city". Grade II* listed. Good cast-iron railings and piers with pedimented caps. Grade II listed.

Early C19th houses, stuccoed in contrast to the bare brick predominant elsewhere in the area. The far ones have Ionic porches and iron balconies. Grade II listed. Liverpool's Georgian quarter was laid out by John Foster senior, the Corporation Surveyor, in 1800. He established an attractive network of wide streets which were later filled with handsome brick terraces, mainly of three-storey houses of two or three bays with doorcases of varying styles and windows with painted wedge lintels. Cavalier treatment of the area by the city council for many decades, resulting in the demolition of many listed Georgian buildings, some of which were owned by the council itself, has been reversed over the last decade or so, and Liverpool can still boast one of the most outstanding arrays of Georgian buildings anywhere in the country.

Looking out across the Liverpool suburbs from the top of the Anglican cathedral tower, the long straight qualities of Canning Street (left) and Huskisson Street (right) lead the eye towards the blue roofs of the Liverpool Women's Hospital.

An exceptionally good late-Georgian terrace, c1830, in a neo-Greek style. Stone-faced with projecting ends and centre (adorned at the top with acroteria), between which are Doric colonnades. It's a reminder that despite exhibiting a remarkable uniformity over a relatively long period of time, the Georgian terrace could nonetheless be handled in original ways. The architect is not known. Pevsner discounts John Foster junior for being insufficiently inventive, and posits instead Samuel Rowland or John Cunningham. Grade II* listed. Despite the municipal authorities' inglorious treatment of its Georgian heritage since the war, much remains and happily is being restored and re-used. Liverpool must still be able to boast one of the country's richest stock of Georgian houses, perhaps putting it in the ranks of Bristol, Bath and Edinburgh (and some distance behind London only). At January 2013, a five-bedroomed house in this terrace was on the market for £645,000, an eye-opener to anyone from London.

A short terrace of stone faced houses on Percy Street. The block of houses is grade II* listed. https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1072994

Elegant town houses facing the Anglican cathedral grounds as we look down on them from the top of the cathedral tower.

Nice group of modest two-bay houses of the early C19th. Each has an arched Doric doorcase with a red-painted door (Image]). Grade II listed.
