The two new Liverpool houses of Gladstone’s childhood:

62 Rodney Steet, sixteen years old when it became his birthplace.

Seaforth House, five miles down river, which John Gladstone began building in 1811 and to which he removed his family in the summer of Waterloo.

George Canning (by Lawrence), Member for Liverpool 1812-22, and an early and continuing Gladstone family hero. A striking declamatory picture, but why is he addressing an empty House of Commons from the middle of the floor?

Arthur Hallam, the jeune homme fatal, who excited Gladstone, Tennyson and several others before his early death in 1833.
