Sunrise on City Hall

Liverpool Town Hall is the home of The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, situated within Liverpool’s prestigious World Heritage Site.

Built in 1749 and designed by John Wood, the Grade 1 listed Town Hall is recognised as one of the finest surviving town halls of the 18th Century – it is a masterful example of Georgian architecture.

Fortunes were made by Liverpool shipping merchants relating to the slave trade, evident in the decorative frieze, but Liverpool and the Town Hall found greater prosperity as a port in the years following its abolition.
