One of the good things about being back in Liverpool is Abercromby Square. The square is in the heart of the University Campus, and is the perfect place to relax at lunch time. Abercromby Square is Georgian, a Conservation Zone and named after General Sir Ralph Abercromby. Sir Ralph was killed fighting the French in Egypt, during the Napoleonic Wars.
The square helps define the University campus. The three rows of Georgian terraces are magnificent, and the perfect contrast to the 60s style architecture that dominates the rest of the campus.
I am also familiar with Manchester’s student land, and I sure that if this square was in that city, it would be ruined by drugs, users and crime.
