The Alfred Waterhouse Preservation Project is led by Peter Eric Lang of The Liverpudlian, in which it strives to gather and creatively share the story of one the most prolific Victorian Liverpudlian Architects, Alfred Waterhouse. The Preservation Project is multifaceted as a multimedia project consisting of this mixed-media website, text, photographs, and a debut short film about The University of Liverpool’s Victoria Building. The film is catalogued across five intertwined story pathways which you can access in any order that piques your interest or in the original chronological order.

 

The Project focuses on a man who was not just an architectural genius, but a Liverpudlian architect from Aigburth at that.

 

He is considered one of the most financially successful and prolific architects of his era, with a plethora of buildings across the United Kingdom being designed by Waterhouse; from the University of Liverpool's Victoria Building - the first Red Brick University, to Manchester Museum, Manchester Town Hall, and the National History Museum in London.

The significance of Alfred Waterhouse in the story of the Liverpool City Region cannot be expressed vividly enough, and his importance in the national story cannot be overstated.
