Liverpool Castle | Rivington | Drone

Liverpool Castle in Rivington is a scaled replica of Merseyside’s thirteenth century castle.
The original structure was built in liverpool on the site that is now home to Derby Square and the Queen Victoria Monument. By the early part of the eighteenth century most of the original fortification had been destroyed or demolished.

The Rivington replica was commissioned in 1912 by William Hesketh Lever (Lord Leverhulme), a philanthropist and the founder of Lever Brothers (now Unilever). It is a folly and was never intended to be completed. It was meant to look like a ruin that had stood for years. Work on the project was slow with only a handful of labourers allocated to it. Construction work ceased when Lever died in 1925 and the castle never reached the state of completion he envisaged.
