  • Liverpool History Society Newsletter No 14, Winter 2005-6
    Liverpool History Society Newsletter No 14, Winter 2005-6 Newsletter No 14 Winter 2005-06 Reg Charity HISTORY SOCIETY NoNo 1093736 1093736 Editorial Although editorial material in this Newsletter is usually anonymous, an exception is made now because what follows are my thoughts alone, and not necessarily those of other members of the LHS Committee. During October, I attended a conference on “Liverpool and Transatlantic Slavery, organised by the Historic Society of Lancashire & Cheshire and National Museums Liverpool. One friend, when asked whether he would be attending, said he would not because he was a bit fed up with Liverpool continually beating its breast about the Slave Trade. A little while later, while reading the story of a fugitive slave from Maryland who fled to Liverpool in 1850 to escape America’s Fugitive Slave Law and was less than well received, an- other friend asked me whether Liverpool was really that bad?” These two comments seem to express two ex- tremes of attitude towards what is, inescapably, a fundamental part of Liverpool’s history and past prosper- ity - its involvement in the Slave Trade itself, and with goods produced by the victims of that trade & their descendants. At another conference, this time on “Poverty and Experience”, held at Edge Hill College and again organised by the HSLC, two of the speakers very vividly described the poverty experienced by some Liverpool families in years gone by. Although an obvious one, I have not been able to escape the thought of just how deeply these experiences of deprivation must have etched themselves, on the minds, not only of those who went through them, but also on those of their descendants, ‘even unto the third and fourth generation’, not least be- cause of how for both slaves and poor, prosperity and conspicuous consumption were so evident not very far away.

  • How to Lay out a Very Large Garden Indeed: Edward Kemp's Liverpool
    katy layton- jones how to lay out a very large garden indeed: edward kemp’s liverpool parks, their history and legacy In 1850, in the wake of two severe cholera epidemics, the Liverpool Improvement Committee advertised for plans for the laying out of new public parks across the city. In 1865, the Liverpool Improvement Act fnally enabled the corporation to raise the fve hundred thousand pounds needed to realize its ambitious vision. Edward Kemp was to be a key fgure in the resultant ‘ribbon of parks’. As the designer of both Newsham and Stanley Parks, his style and approach have defned large swathes of the Liverpool landscape for nearly a hundred and ffty years. This paper explores the design and history of Kemp’s Liverpool parks and their infuence on the wider public parks movement. It concludes with an examination of their social, environmental and economic legacy, and the challenge of preserving and managing these landscapes in the twenty-frst century. liverpool in the mid-nineteenth century was in a state of almost constant change and expansion. the rapid growth of its mercantile economy had attracted workers from the immediate hinterland, other towns and cities and, of course, the global marketplace that the city now supplied. the urban centre rapidly became crowded and many residents lodged in infamous damp cellars.1 such conditions brought with them grave threats to public health and, along with much of urban Britain, in 1832 and 1848–49 liverpool suffered severe outbreaks of ‘the mysterious and terrible disease’ of cholera.2 the worst affected areas were the city’s slums, remote from the green spaces and fresh running water of the surrounding elevated ground.
