THE PAPERS
I share your society as we view the architectural magnificence of
England’s only really splendid city, a lasting tribute to its
sterling people, and make frequent reference to our trusty Pevsner.
We conclude with thoughts about Passage in its several Glorious
forms.

In another and very damp architectural excursion we focus
on the lesser-known Listed buildings of the financial quarter
before adjourning to an extended crawl around
Liverpool’s charming taverns and bookshops.

In the third of my architectural excursions in Liverpool
I walk the North Central dockland area through
Everton and Vauxhall, discussing Listed buildings and
other points of interest along the way.
The dock area is atmospheric but derelict but showing signs
of restrained revival. The final moments, as usual, are
relieved by prayer and alcohol:- this is a Jim Warren
journey of the spirit.
Read this Paper
A discursive description of Liverpool’s transfluvial
sister town: Its history, its geology, and its shipbuilding,
narrowing the focus to its inceptive nucleus,
Birkenhead Priory.
At the Priory I retire to pray in the Scriptorium.
The curator of its Merchant Naval Museum
explains much of the history and exhibits,
but he is, despite his great expertise,
less instructive than some electrical worshipers
who accost me.
