THE FORGOTTEN TREASURE OF LIVERPOOL
A magical adventure celebrating the city we love
Sophie Clarke brings Forgotten Treasure to Life
Watch as Liverpool Heartbeat Ambassador Sophie Clarke reads an extract from Forgotten Treasure, the new book by Phillip Davies.
Phil’s own family played a huge part in bringing this story into the world. Raised to dream big and enjoy life, he grew up surrounded by tales — especially those shared by his grandad, a proud former docker and passionate Liverpool historian. That deep love for the city, its people, and its past flows through every page of the book, giving it a warmth and authenticity only lived experience can create.
A Story Rooted in Family, History and Heart
This light‑hearted adventure follows Arabella and her Grandad as they journey through Liverpool, uncovering forgotten places, surprising secrets and pieces of history that deserve to be remembered. It’s a celebration of curiosity, creativity and the magic that still lives in our modern city.
Phil’s own family played a huge part in bringing this book to life. Encouraged from childhood to dream big and have fun, he grew up surrounded by stories—especially from his grandad, a proud former docker and passionate Liverpool historian.

Supporting Liverpool’s Young People
A major inspiration behind the book was the belief and encouragement Phil received from Robin Baynes MBE, founder of Liverpool Heartbeat Charity. Their work uses creativity, education and fun to inspire young people and keep Liverpool’s history alive.
That’s why 100% of the proceeds from this book go directly to Liverpool Heartbeat Charity.
This project was never about profit—it’s about giving back to the city and supporting a cause Phil cares deeply about.
