Former Residence of Eric Liddell

Tianjin


Former home of Scotsman Eric Liddell, Olympic champion, rugby international and devout Christian. Liddell was born in Tianjin in 1902 and was the subject of the 1981 Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. The house is not open to the public and interestingly its 'historic architecture' plaque makes no mention of Liddell.
