Liverpool is a city and port in Merseyside, England, which contains many listed buildings. A listed building is a structure designated by English Heritage of being of architectural and/or of historical importance and, as such, is included in the National Heritage List for England. There are three grades of listing, according to the degree of importance of the structure. Grade I includes those buildings that are of "exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important"; the buildings in Grade II* are "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and those in Grade II are "nationally important and of special interest". Very few buildings are included in Grade I — only 2.5% of the total. Grade II* buildings represent 5.5% of the total, while the great majority, 92%, are included in Grade II.[1]
Liverpool contains more than 1,550 listed buildings, of which 28 are in Grade I, 109 in Grade II*, and the rest in Grade II.[a] This list contains the two Grade II listed buildings in the L11 postal district of Liverpool, a former lodge, and the stable block of a demolished mansion. Elsewhere in the district is West Derby Cemetery which has three Grade II listed buildings around its main entrance.

The lodge is at the main entrance to the cemetery, and was designed by F. Bartram Payton. It is built in stone, is in two storeys, and has a front facing the drive of three bays. The first two bays project forward, and have gables of different sizes. In the first bay is a bay window, with another bay window on the front facing the road. There is also a half-dormer.[2][3]
This was originally the registrar's office and residence; it was designed by F. Bartram Payton. It is built in sandstone with a hippedslate roof. It has two storeys and a main front of five irregular bays. Most of the windows are mullioned and transomed. Its features include bay windows, a half-dormer, and an oriel window. In the right bay is a tower with buttresses, lancet windows, clock faces on all sides, an open arcaded bell stage, and a pyramidal roof with a weathercock.[2][4]
The entrance contains five stone piers and wrought iron gates. The central pier is the largest, and has arched recesses flanked by colonnettes. On the corners are small turrets with truncated spires. On the top is a broach spire with a fleuron. The other, smaller piers have flat buttresses, and truncated pyramidal caps with gablets.[2][5]
