The Illustrations to the present volume have been executed at different times, and by different individuals ; some of them before the corresponding descriptions were written out, and others when the volume was nearly ready to be issued. For those numbered II, III, V, VI, VII, XI, XII, the Society are in­ debted to Mr. Pidgeon of London. As the first five of them were etched before any others, they were numbered consecutively. The doorway at Heysham (Plate II), was copied by consent, from a print, the drawing of which was by Mr. Edward Sharpe of Lancaster. Some of the Roman Vases from Hartford are deposited in the town Museum of Warrington; but as they were all exhibited at the Society during the previous session, they are all given in the illustration. The forms of the stone implements have been taken from those which are given in several well known books. For example, those marked G are given in Akerman's Archaeological Index, those marked H from Thorns' Worsaae, and L from Antiq. Celtiques. The modes of mounting are from various sources also. Thus 1 is like the occasional mounting of an Australian wamrah, and 6 like the point of a modem savage's spear; 2 exhibits a common mode of mounting rude instruments at the present hour, and 3, 4, 5, 7 are from Worsaae. No. 8 is the mounted celt from Cookstown, 9 and 10 are copied from illustrations in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy (see page 43), 11 is well known in the islands of the Pacific, and 12, 13, 14, 15, 10, are from Antiq. Celtiques. The forms on Plate VII are all taken from the book of M. de Perthes, and may be regarded at once as illustrations of his mode of classification, and also of the curious evidences upon which his inferences are based. Plates I, IV, IX, X, were etched by Mr. Hammond ; by whom XXII and XXIII were lithographed. The drawings of IX, X and part of the etching of IX, were by Mr. Higgin a member of the Council. The objects given here are as follows: A, a looped palstab ; B, a small metal celt; C, a " Druid's egg"; D, a large palstab ; E and F, amulets; G, a horse shoe ; H, a dagger with brass hilt; I, an iron securis, with the blade obliquely placed. On Plate IV, Nos, I, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 are from the tobacco-pipes of Mr. Lamb. Nos. 12 and 13 have been copied from Wilson's Archaeology of Scotland; the former is of rod sandstone, and was found in the Pent- land Hills, the latter ia the common Dane's pipe well known in Ireland and Scotland. No. 14, is from Willis's Current Notes for April 1851; the stem is of bamboo, and the top of the bowl of brass. Tt was found in taking down an old inn at Fulham in 1830. Plate VIII was engraved for the Gentleman's Magazine in 1847. It was kindly lent on this occasion by Mr. Nichols, to illustrate the letter­ press of his own paper. Plates XIIT, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, and XXI were presented to the Society by Mr. Mayer to illustrate his paper on Tranmere Old Hall. Plates XXIV and XXV were also presented by Mr. Mayer to illustrate his second paper at page 126. ERRATUM. Page 59. In tide of Paper, for " Tenth" Iter, read " Seventh.' TABLE OF CONTENTS.

Although our occupancy rate for the first 9 months of this year may have fallen around 5%, other regional cities have seen a decline in double figures, so we take some comfort in the fact that Liverpool’s hotel sector is showing a degree of resilience.

  • Adrian Henri and the Merseybeat Movement: Performance, Poetry, and Public in the Liverpool Scene of the 1960S
    Adrian Henri and the Merseybeat movement: performance, poetry, and public in the Liverpool scene of the 1960s Helen Louise Taylor Royal Holloway, University of London A thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 1 For, and because of, my parents. 2 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Helen Louise Taylor, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: . Date: . 3 THESIS ABSTRACT Adrian Henri and the Merseybeat movement: performance, poetry, and public in the Liverpool scene of the 1960s The thesis focuses on the Merseybeat movement and its manifestations in Liverpool in the 1960s, with particular emphasis on the work of Adrian Henri. The Merseybeat movement – centred upon Adrian Henri, Roger McGough, and Brian Patten – was a site-specific confluence of the alternative avant-garde and the British populist tradition of art, and deserves exploration as both a literary and a cultural phenomenon. The thesis argues that the dismissal of Merseybeat as ‘pop poetry’ has come from using the wrong critical tools: it is better viewed as a ‘total art’ movement, encompassing not only poetry but also visual art, music, comedy, happenings, and other forms of artistic expression. The thesis is primarily concerned with the performative and collaborative aspects of Merseybeat. As well as considering this particular movement in terms of oral performance and audience communication, this research also contributes to our understanding of the dissemination of this poetry – particularly how its audiences experienced live poetry alongside other artforms and media.

  • LIVERPOOL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE October 2019
    LIVERPOOL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE October 2019 Welcome Welcome to the Autumn 2019 edition of the Liverpool Development Update. Our city is going through a period of exciting and rapid change. This is in large part fuelled by the £1bn a year investment drive which began in 2015 and looks set to continue through 2020. As a result we are seeing new homes; leisure, health and education facilities; as well as a mixture of offices/industrial and commercial space all creating new jobs to support this city’s growing economy and rising population. Since the Spring Development Update, much has happened in the city to accelerate the drive toward cleaner air for all and for a reduction in carbon emission to net zero by 2030. These are issues that could have a positive impact on developments across the city and we will look to highlight areas of best practice in future issues. Every scheme has its challenges, but as we develop our economy we have become more aware of the effect we have on the planet. FRONT COVER: Having recently declared a Climate Change Emergency we will be developing a strategy designed to reduce the impact of the city’s regeneration programme, as well as advance measures to develop a 1 low carbon economy. The decade ahead is going to shape the rest of this century in how we tackle climate change – and the only real way to 2 3 achieve that is for everyone to play their part. 1. PROPOSED: ARTIST’S CGI’S OF As we approach the end of the second decade of the 21st century, the PALL MALL EXCHANGE prospects for our city remain positive.

  • PAUL Mccartney's CHILDHOOD HOME IN
    THE SUCCESSFUL PRESERVATION OF ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC SITES: PAUL McCARTNEY’S CHILDHOOD HOME IN LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND AND THE CHESS RECORDS OFFICE AND STUDIO IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Kandalyn Lu Hahn January 2005 © 2005 Kandalyn Lu Hahn ABSTRACT Groundbreaking preservation efforts for two highly significant rock and roll music sites are examined: Paul McCartney’s childhood home in Liverpool, England, under the protection of the National Trust, and the former Chess Records office and studio in Chicago, Illinois, landmarked under city ordinance. Mid to late twentieth-century popular music sites face multiple threats of demolition, neglect, and inappropriate treatment. The lack of architectural distinction, bias against relatively recent history, and need to establish the relevance of popular culture inhibit successful preservation of rock and roll sites. Yet popular interest in such sites has exploded since the 1990s and visitation is on the rise. Increasing interest in these locations translates into more opportunities for funding and support. At the same time, it intensifies the need for preservation as popularity attracts exploitation schemes that threaten the integrity of the sites. Finally, given the difficulty of finding accurate documentation of these sites, the critical time to work on their preservation is while people who know their history firsthand are still alive. The examination includes a review of the literature, much of it in popular media, and primary research in the form of site visitation; interviews with key people and related experts; collection of original documentation; and some observation of work in progress.

  • A Comparative History of Youth Culture and Popular Music in Liverpool and Newcastle Upon Tyne, 1956-1965 Jona
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Northumbria Research Link ‘Beats Apart’: A Comparative History of Youth Culture and Popular Music in Liverpool and Newcastle upon Tyne, 1956-1965 Jonathan Paul Watson PhD 2009 1 ‘Beats Apart’: A Comparative History of Youth Culture and Popular Music in Liverpool and Newcastle upon Tyne, 1956-1965 Jonathan Paul Watson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Northumbria at Newcastle for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Research undertaken in the School of Arts and Social Sciences December 2009 2 Abstract This study explores the themes of continuity and change in twentieth-century British cultural history, particularities of place and regional identity in the North of England, and the cultural transfer of North American popular music in Britain between 1956 and 1965. By means of a comparative historical investigation of youth culture and popular music in Liverpool and Newcastle upon Tyne, the work engages with existing debate among historians surrounding the nature and extent of cultural change for the period usually referred to as „The Sixties‟, and whether or not it is possible to speak of a „Cultural Revolution‟. Spanning the years between the initial impact of rock „n‟ roll and the immediate aftermath of the Beat Boom of 1963-64, a phenomenon described by one commentator as representing „perhaps the North‟s greatest single cultural „putsch‟‟, the thesis examines the role of urban and regional identity in the process of cultural production, reproduction, and consumption. Theoretical insights derived from the associated disciplines of sociology and cultural studies are employed which offer an opportunity for a novel and dynamic analysis and interpretation of the empirical historical evidence.
