Abstract:
An archaeological excavation was conducted on the site of 'Firwood', a Victorian house situated on Alexandra Road, Formby, Merseyside. The project was undertaken as a community archaeology event in partnership with the Sefton Coast Landscape Partnership. The site is located to the south-west of Formby in an area of woodland and sand dunes. Firwood was constructed in 1853 for Dr. Richard Formby, founder of the Liverpool Medical School. It was a large, two storey, Victorian 'villa' type residence with attached conservatory and single storey extension. The house stood until the early 1990s when it was demolished. The excavation found that there was some evidence to confirm that the original house was much smaller than that shown on mapping and photographs from 1893 onwards.
