Newsham Park
Newsham Park was the first of the celebrated trio of new parks developed to ring Victorian Liverpool. The park, which was based on designs by Edward Kemp, may represent Kemp's first solo venture in public park design. It is surrounded by fine period architecture which was developed to fund the park layout in 1866 and includes the grade II listed Seaman's Orphanage and Newsham House. The latter is the `sumptuous mansion' where Queen Victoria stayed in 1886 and which is still in use as the `Judges' Lodgings'.
