Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bygone Liverpool Few cities which can boast an antiquity at all comparable with that of Liverpool have so ruthlessly obliterated all the visible memorials of their past. Though it is seven hundred years since the borough was founded, it contains no building of any importance which is two hundred and fifty years old and only two (St. Peter's Church and the old Bluecoat School, both apparently doomed to destruction) which carry us back as far as two hundred years. Scores of towns and villages of less antiquity and dignity than Liverpool can at least show a church dating back to the fourteenth century or earlier. But Liverpool has demolished its ancient churches, and rebuilt them in modern style: the church of Walton, which was mentioned in Domesday Book, and is the mother-church of all this district, was rebuilt in instalments during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the ancient Liverpool chapel of St. Nicholas, which had been the centre of the life of the borough ever since its erection in the middle of the fourteenth century, was demolished and rebuilt by our unsentimental ancestors during the same period; the still more ancient little chapel of St. Mary of the Quay vanished altogether. Some big towns, like Newcastle or Nottingham, can point with pride to a medieval fortress, preserved with care as a proof of ancient dignity. Liverpool was once in the almost unique position of possessing two medieval fortresses, a fine castle, erected early in the thirteenth century, and an embattled tower by the waters edge, fortified at the beginning of the fifteenth century. These buildings were encrusted with historical associations. They had withstood sieges, they had entertained kings and princes, among them the gallant Prince Rupert, they had given refuge to fugitives and formed prisons for captives of war. But the prosaic townsmen, despising sentimentalism, have utterly swept them away. The Castle was demolished early in the eighteenth century, to make room for a church and a market, which have in their turn given place to a royal memorial. The Tower was allowed to survive till the nineteenth century. It served a great variety of purposes. Now it was used as a debtors' gaol, again as a place of captivity for French prisoners of war, who made and sold toys like the hero of Stevenson's St. Ives, and like him sometimes contrived brave escapes; and yet again it played the part of an Assembly Room, where ladies in hooped skirts and powdered hair danced minuets with young sparks in flowered satin. After passing through all these vicissitudes the Tower was pulled down in 1819 in order that Water Street might be widened.
