Another Place — Antony Gormley · Crosby Beach, Crosby

A hundred cast-iron figures moulded from the sculptor's own body, standing in the tidal zone, facing the sea.

Sefton council warns that you should NOT walk out to the furthest figures across very soft sand and mud. The 100 figures are spread over more than 3 km of beach.

Vinyl in the basement

Antiques + coffee

81 Renshaw

81 Renshaw · 81 Renshaw Street, Ropewalks

Antiques, vinyl, coffee and a gallery in a ramshackle building that somehow works as all of them at once.

The Beatles Shop

The Beatles Shop · Mathew Street, Cavern Quarter

The oldest Beatles shop in the world: rare records, memorabilia and collector's editions.

Official · in the centre

Liverpool FC Store

Liverpool FC Store · Williamson Square, city centre

Liverpool's official store right in the centre: shirts, printing while you wait and this season's kit.

Tip: It's on Williamson Square, not inside Liverpool ONE: it saves you the trip to Anfield if all you want is the shirt. Name and number printing is done on the spot.

Utility

Utility · 12 Manesty's Lane, Liverpool ONE

Design, homeware and gifts with an author's eye: the local shop that takes on the mall's chains.

Antiques on Penny Lane

Penny Lane Emporium

Local art

Penny Lane Gallery

Penny Lane Gallery · 38 Penny Lane, Mossley Hill

A gallery and local art shop on the most sung-about street in the world.

Free · the park's story
