Pevsner's Liverpool on 5

Next Tuesday evening at 7.15pm, five continue what seems like a one channel campaign to promote Liverpool arts on television with the first episode of a two part documentary, Pevsner's Cities with Gavin Stamp. As the blurb in this week's Radio Times describes: "Art historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner was responsible for the monumental series of books, The Buildings of England comprising of some 46 volumes, between 1951 and 1974 . Professor Gavin Stamp revisits some of the places chronicled by Pevsner, starting with the city of Liverpool." 'Our' guide was recently updated by an old friend of mine, Joseph Sharples [amazon]. It's an incredible book and I'm hoping this programme will be using it for background . Considering the richness of the city's architecture this should be something special.

Wher can I purchase 'Pevsner's Cities with Gavin Stamp?

Hi Gina, there's a different book for each city. Loads of them!
The Liverpool one is by Joseph Sharples and is in all the local
bookshops including the one at the Tate.

Here's the link to the relevant Amazon page.
