Thomas Shelmerdine (1845–1921) was an English architect who was appointed to the post of City Surveyor of Liverpool at the age of 26. He is the youngest person to have held that post. Shelmerdine was the architect of several buildings in Liverpool. In 1875 he designed the gates and lodge at the Ullet Road entrance to Sefton Park. In 1890 he drew the plans for Kensington Library. This is an asymmetrical building in brick and dressed stone with a white cupola.
