The Mulberry. First ship to enter Liverpool's Old Dock. Thanks @HarwoodAliArt for gently letting me know I had originally posted the wrong ship! Some interpretation here of the original Blundell sketch. Glad of comments etc.
The Liverpool & Manchester Railway 1835. Liverpool Road Station Manchester, Vers 3. The Railway crosses the Irwell. Amendments (stonework, building details, street furniture, horses etc). A remarkable survivor. Thanks very much all for comments etc.

Re: previous reconstruction, while researching for the Liverpool pottery industry - found this little pic of Crosby 1716 which is surprisingly early - both as an image and an e.g. of pottery.. Yet to see if it is in any way possible to map it (added some context)
ALT A rudimentary picture of Great Crosby drawn in 1716, showing houses, fields, people, Crosby beach, rabbit warrens, the River Mersey with shipping, and the first Crosby windmill. Horses are seen racing on the marsh.
Watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool's Herculaneum Pottery works: Toxteth Park. The date c.1815. Opened 1793/4 and closed in 1841 - to later become the site of Harrington Dock.
The work is in part based on material in the excellent blog of Jim Kenny. wp.me/p2XyHv-2AF
ALT This is a watercolour reconstruction of iverpool's Herculaneum pottery works. An aerial view, it shows 7 bottle kilns, buildings, workers, a dock and the River Mersey with ships
