The Albert Dock (1) Built from 1841 to 1847, the Albert Dock has changed radically in its function. Originally built for ship trading, it now contains several shops, restaurants and bars, galleries (for example the Tate Liverpool) and museums (Merseyside Maritime Museum, Beatles Story, International Slavery Museum). It was honoured to be of special architectural significance in 1952. The dock belongs to the Pier Head (Liverpool’s dockland area), which has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004.

Not only exhibitions, concerts and readings can be attended in the Bluecoat Arts Centre, but also active participation in workshops and debates is required.

It’s easy to reach by public transport: The "Central" and "Lime Street" stations are close to it. Today it is not purchasing the rights to plays any longer, but is again producing its own plays. A special feature is the Everyman’s Literary Department, where the literary offspring of playwrights is being nurtured. 13 Hope Street, Liverpool L1 9BH +44 (0)151 708 3700 http://www.everymanplayhouse.com Opening hours: depend on the plays, but generally about 7.30 - 7.45pm Admission: £8,00 - £14,00 (discount for students!)

Not only was this the date of the annual Slavery Remembrance Day, but the year 2007 was particularly significant as it was the bicentenary of the abolition of the British slave trade. The International Slavery Museum highlights the international importance of slavery, both in a historic and contemporary context. Working in partnership with other museums with a focus on freedom and enslavement, the museum provides opportunities for greater awareness and understanding of the legacy of slavery today. It is located in Liverpool's Albert Dock, at the centre of a World Heritage site and only yards away from the dry docks where 18th century slave trading ships were repaired and fitted out.

LIPA was started by Sir Paul McCartney and Mark Featherstone-Witty. It was a meeting of two ideas: McCartney had discovered that his old school — the Liverpool Institute High School for Boys — was derelict, and wanted to be able to save the building; Mark Featherstone-Witty had set up the Brit School in London, and wanted to try his ideas on a bigger scale.

Built during the 20th century in gothic style, the building can be called a cathedral of superlatives as it owns the largest organ in Great Britain and one of the tallest bell towers in the world. For information on history and architecture, a high-tech film and audio tour called "The Great Space" guides the visitor through the cathedral. http://www.liverpoolcathedral.org.uk/ Cathedral Office St James House, 20 St James Road, Liverpool L1 7BY +44 (0)151-709 6271 Opening hours: 8.00am - 18.00pm www.liverpoolcathedral.org.uk Opening hours: every day 8am – 6pm Admission: No charge but voluntary donation, bell tower costs £2. The Merseyside Maritime Museum (10) The Merseyside Maritime Museum has been located in an old warehouse in Albert Dock in Liverpool since 1986. The museum contains the only existing fist-class ticket for the Titanic, one of Lusitania’s propellers, a merchandiser’s complete accountancy for his business transactions in slavery, an original shipbuilder’s model of the Titanic and the Maritime Archive and Library. These are only some of the things which attest to the colourful history of Liverpool, its seafaring and its importance as a gateway to the world. Albert Dock, Liverpool L3 +44 (0)151 478 4499 www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/maritime Opening hours: every day 10am - 5pm Admission: free! The Mersey Ferries (11) The Mersey Ferry is a ferry service operating on the River Mersey in north west England, between Liverpool and the Wirral Peninsula. Ferries have been used on this route since at least the 12th century, and continue to be popular for both local people and visitors. The current fleet consists of three vessels, which were all originally from the 1960s and were named Mountwood, Woodchurch and Overchurch. All three ferries have been extensively refurbished and re-named Royal Iris of the Mersey, Snowdrop and Royal Daffodil respectively. The ferries share the workload of cross-river ferrying, charter cruises and the Manchester Ship Canal cruise. The service is managed by Merseytravel.

(Paper No. 3794.) “ The Equipment and Working-Results of the Mersey Railway under Steam and under Electric Traction.” By JOSHUASHAW, M. Inst. C.E. DURINGrecent years, one of the problems which hashad to be considered by both railway and electrical engineers, has been the substitution of the electrical system of traction on existing railways hitherto worked by steam. Upto the present, the number of railways in England in which this substitution has been made is very limited, and consequently little is generally known as to what the actual effect of the change has been on the working-results. In this Paper the Authorpresents to The Institution some comparisons of the equipment and working-results of the Mersey Railway when operated first by steam and later by electricity. TRE MERSEYRAILWAY, The railway, extending under the River Mersey, connects Liver- pool and Birkenhead on opposite banks. A map of the line and of the district which it serves is given in Fig. 1, Plate 1. The railway was described in two Papers read before The Institution in 1886, the year in which the line was opened for traffic as a steam railway. The original route extended from James Street Station,Liverpool, to Green Lane Station, Birkenhead, a length of 2 miles 11 chains ; but extensions have since been made, increasing the total length to 4 miles 62 chains. The railway commences under the terminal station of the Cheshire Lines Committee in Liverpool, and runs under the River Mersey to Rock Ferry, where a junction is made 1 Francis Fox, “The Mersey Railway”; and W.

    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront

    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront “Three Graces” – Together the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building make up the Mersey’s ‘Three Graces’ and are at the architectural centre of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. A massive engineering project has recently extended the canal in front of these three buildings, adding beautifully landscaped seating areas and viewpoints along the canal and the river. Museum of Liverpool – this brand new museum, opened in 2011 is a magnificent addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. Celebrating the origins and heritage of the city, it features collections from National Museums Liverpool that have never been seen before. Otterspool Promenade – The construction of Otterspool Promenade (1950) provided both a new amenity for Liverpool and an open space dividend from the disposal of Mersey Tunnel spoil and household waste; a project repeated three decades later to reclaim the future International Garden Festival site. A favourite with kite fliers this often overlooked wide open space is perfect for views of the river and picnics Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” - These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach, about 10 minutes out of Liverpool. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. Mersey Ferry - There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to the commentary.

    Heritage As a Catalyst for Urban Regeneration

    Heritage as a Catalyst for Urban Regeneration Interrogations and Propositions for the World Heritage Site of Liverpool Ataa Alsalloum and André Brown The University of Liverpool School of Architecture Introduction A study of designation, categorisation and consequence of world heritage assets will inevitably throw up quite different interrogations and propositions. The statutory framework for the protection of the historic environment, in terms of selection process and policy guidance, has resulted in a collection of processes that are a subject for criticism. Likewise, identifying and prioritising heritage values has proved to be a very complex practice. In particular, the commodification of heritage brings with it contention. The assessment of new introductions to a heritage setting has proved to be one of the most critical problems in urban design. The crux of the challenge therefore is the development of natural and cultural heritage, including all its associated values, in a sustainable way. This article addresses the criteria and the impacts of the designation of world heritage assets, briefly highlighting the United Kingdom (UK) current situation. This article’s aim is to underline the contemporary challenges and opportunities for the world heritage site of Liverpool, which exemplifies a critical example of safeguarding historical patrimony in a sustainable way. World Heritage Site When a site is inscribed on the World Heritage List (WHL), it is recognised as having outstanding universal value along with authenticity and integrity values. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO) criteria addressed in the, periodically revised, Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention (1972): the designation can be cultural, natural or mixed (cultural and natural) heritage, if a site meets one or more of the ten criteria shown opposite.
