About this audio guide
This guide to Liverpool Town Hall goes back to the winter of seventeen ninety-five, when the hall caught fire in a town that had no proper fire brigade and bought its water by the bucket from private carts. You'll meet the people who raced to the blaze and the reward that sent them running. Stand where you can see the dome, its goddess and its clock faces, guarded by lions and unicorns.
