Bullock's Museum

In 1809 William Bullock moved to London and opened the Liverpool Museum at 22 Piccadilly. It was an immediate hit, welcoming more than 22,000 visitors its first month, and 80,000 in its first six. In April of 1811, one of the visitors was the 35-year-old Jane Austen who wrote to her sister Cassandra that she and her cousin Mary Cooke “after disposing of her father and mother, went to the Liverpool Museum and the British Gallery, and I had some amusement at each, though my preference for men and women always inclines me to attend more to the company than the sight.”

I went on holiday over the weekend and took these photos 🌹

It was so exciting getting to see Queen Victoria’s statue! It was unveiled by Princess Henry of Battenberg (Princess Beatrice) on the 20th of October 1902!

The Jubilee Clock Tower was built and erected in 1888 to commemorate the 1887 Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria!

The King’s Statue is a tribute statue to King George III! It was installed in 1809, the year which marked his Golden Jubilee!
