Description

The drawing is based on, with the consent of Edmund Kirby & Sons, William Culshaw’s original drawings in Lancashire Record Office, DDX 162, 97/42–51. It is reproduced as Figure 50 on page 48 of ‘Built on Commerce: Liverpool's central business district’ by Joseph Sharples and John Stonard (2008).

The front office space is shown as fitted out for C Horsfall and Sons, merchants and shipowners, circa 1862 - 3, whilst the rear space is based on the designs used by Messrs Richards, Mills & Co, ship brokers, in 1875.
