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. -

Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Bill Oddie OBE This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Lancashire’s countryside has much to offer; from the gritstone fells of the Forest of Bowland to the sand dunes of the Sefton Coast. There are some great opportunities to view wildlife too, including red squirrels and marsh harriers. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future. This Second Edition published Summer 2019 Copyright © Open Country 2019 There are some things that some disabilities make “ more difficult. The countryside and wildlife should not be among them. -
The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation. -

LIVERPOOL NAUTICAL RESEARCH SOCIETY 11 All delight is in masts and oars and trim ships to cross the stormy sea" - .. ODYSSEY. NEWS, NOTES A1TTI QUERIES Vol. VIII (New Series) No. 1 January/February 1 964 CHRISTMAS 1963 My thanks to everyone who so kindly sent me greetings for Christmas; their thoughtfulness w2s greatly appreciated. R.B.Summerfield DECEMBER ~'TING On Thursd~, December 12th, 1963, the Society met on board LANDFALL to bear a paper of a very novel kind. It was presented by our distinguished member, Nigel W. Kennedy who called it 'Some Unorthodox Techniques in Marine Engineering'. Mr. Kennedy used to work for the Carbon Dioxide Company (now part of the Distillers Group), and he became an expert in the uses of that gas. The paper told of his work with 'Dry Ice' or solid co2 which enabled the ice cream pedal tricycle to patrol the streets of our towns and seaside promenades. In the hands of Mr. Kennedy, however, Dry Ice was put to more serious uses. He used it to shrink metals by freezing. On regaining normal temperature the metal would expand. Tne value of this shrinking lay in its use to assemble or dismantle machinery. Mr. Kennedy gave a number of examples of his work on marine engines. The crank shaft of the Elder Dempster Motor Ship ABA had a fractured web. This could be repaired by the insertion of a pin, tapered in three steps. The pin was machined slightly oversize, shrunk by dry ice, quickly inserted and on regaining normal temperature formed a very tight fit in the crank web. -
