    Speke Hall Access Statement Speke Hall is a rare Tudor timber-framed manor house situated just outside Liverpool city centre on the banks of the River Mersey. Restored and brought back to life in the 19th century, it is a unique and beautiful mixture of Tudor simplicity and rich Victorian interiors. Speke Hall, The Walk, Liverpool, Merseyside, L24 1XD T: 0151 427 7231 E: [email protected] Due to the ongoing pandemic, visitors are asked to wear a face covering in all indoor areas and avoid entering a busy indoor space, to help prevent over-crowding. This may cause queues and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Introduction 1. Speke Hall is situated in scenic grounds that may be accessed by mostly flat path ways. Please be aware, walking on the wider estate involves some slopes and uneven surfaces. The ground floor of the Hall is accessible with mainly flat surfaces however there are some cobbles near the Stable Tea Room and the Inner Courtyard. 2. Mobile phone reception is reasonable across the wider estate, however near and inside the Hall the signal is poor for most networks. 3. Assistance dogs are welcome throughout the property and in the Hall. There is a water bowl outside the main restaurant at Home Farm which is regularly filled or can be refilled on request. There are some areas of the site that are not suitable for dog walking including the Maze, the Childe of Hale Trail, play areas, the Moat Garden and the Hall. Maps are available at Visitor Reception. Dogs should not be left in cars on a hot day and our Ranger takes regular patrols to ensure the welfare of animals during such weather.

  • Liverpool's History Throughout the Centuries
    Page One A BROCHURE f O C OMMEMORATE THE COMPLETION OF 50 YEARS MUNICIP AL OWNERSHIP OF TH E 1 POOL ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNDERT AKING. MUf R , 1946 Page Two FOREWORD l' N the following pages my Committee have attempted to present an epitome of J Liverpool's history throughout the centuries, a somewhat more detailed accoun,t of her recent past, with emphasis on the cultural, social and industrial aspects of community life, and finally, a note on the future aspirations and prospects of our City. The event which has provided the occasion for this publication is the fiftieth anniversary of the acquisition by th: Corporation of what is perhaps the greatest of its public services-the ElectriCity Supply Undertaking. Electricity in its many applications has so woven itself into the fabric of modern existence that there is hardly an activity of city life which is not dependent in some measure, on its ministering power-industry, transport, the home, the cinema, the hospital. even the church service, are beholden to this universal and silent servant. On the physical side it is the linch-pin of community life and the main hope of better things to come. And so, as the pageant of history passes under review, and as we read of the achievements of sci~nce, the ever widening social activity of our corporate life, and the devastation of war, let us take courage and resolve that, whate'er befall, this great City and Port will be found ready and willing to play its full part in building anew that industrial and commercial leadership which has made Britain great, and Liverpool a household word wherever ships find anchorage.

Introduction 1.1 This Built Heritage Review is prepared by Turley Heritage in connection with the Liverpool John Lennon Airport Master Plan to 2050 (dated March 2018) (the ‘Master Plan’) for the expansion of the existing Liverpool John Lennon Airport on the surrounding area (the ‘Master Plan Area’). 1.2 The NPPF (2019) defines a heritage asset as: “A building, monument, site, place, area, or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage 1 interest” 1.3 For the purposes of this report, the term ‘Built Heritage’ refers to all above ground heritage assets. All below-ground heritage assets are discussed within the Archaeological Appraisal prepared by Aecom. 1.4 This Review undertakes a preliminary assessment of the likely and potential impacts on identified heritage assets. It informs the provisions of Policy EC7 of the Liverpool Local Plan Submission Draft (dated January 2018) in respect of built heritage considerations. 1.5 The Review is structured as follows: • Section 2 sets out the nearby heritage assets with potential to be affected by the Master Plan; • Section 3 provides an overview of the historic development of Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the surrounding area; • Section 4 provides a proportionate assessment of the significance of the heritage assets including the contribution made by their setting; and • Section 5 provides a summary of key heritage considerations, including an appraisal of draft Policy EC7 of the Liverpool Local Plan Submission Draft.

  • 2018 Liverpool
    GUIDE 1 Welcome to the 2018 NOPS Kit Kat Tour Liverpool is a great city. It’s a place where the new and old rub shoulders, where Brutalist buildings contrast with Victorian and Edwardian architecture. The Royal Liver Building stands next to the Cunard Building and behind them rises the slender brutalist spire of the beacon at St John’s Shopping Centre. The gothic Anglican cathedral (newer than it appears) and the defiantly modern Catholic cathedral sit at either end of Hope Street. Lancashire’s rambling countryside, challenging moorland and extensive waterways make it a natural habitat for outdoor photography, with two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to conquer, including the majestic Pendle Hill. The locations listed in the guide have been selected as popular areas to photograph. I have tried to be accurate with the postcodes but as many locations are rural, they are an approximation. They are not intended as an itinerary but as a starting point for a trigger-happy weekend. Most are within one hour drive of our accommodation. Please take care and be respectful of the landscape around you. If you intend climbing or doing any other dangerous activities, please go in pairs (at least). 2 Locations Map Page 3 Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve Map Ref 1 Postcode PR8 2QB This reserve is a mix of open dunes and pine woods with many way marked paths. The dunes are home to many animals and insects including a distinctive race of sand lizards, the fearsome dune tiger beetle (2cm long) and up to 20% of the national population of nocturnal natterjack toads.
