Ncbjor LEAXDROCUBILLO. (Paper No. 2433.) Recent Dock Extensions at Liverpool, with a General Description of the MerseyDock Estate,the Port of Liverpool,and the RiverMersey.” By GEORGEFOSBERY LYSTER, M. Inst. C.E. THEspecial characteristics of theRiver Mersey, theimportant positionwhich Liverpool occupies among theleading trading centres of the world, and the rapid development of its commerce are, each and all, so interesting to engineers, that in submitting a Paper descriptive of the most recent dock extensions carried out in the port, the Author has been induced to touch upon each of these points, as a fitting preamble to the more formal and precise description of the special works which form the leading features of the Paper. Few, if any, localities, inthis country at all events, are so favourably situatedfor the construction of a comprehensive system of docks as that of Liverpool, not onlyby reason of its geographical position on the seaboard of the country, with its unrivalled water frontage, but also on account of its proximity to the great manu- faeturing districts, as well as to the coal and mineral fields of the North of England and Wales, with which it is linked by railways and canals, which aresuch important factors in thedevelopment and maintenance of successful trading. -
John Kaye of Liverpool – Can His Clock Predict the Time and Height of High Water at Liverpool? Steve and Darlah Thomas*
© 2021 Antiquarian Horological Society (www.ahsoc.org). Reproduction prohibited without permission. MARCH 2021 John Kaye of Liverpool – Can his clock predict the time and height of high water at Liverpool? Steve and Darlah Thomas* Much has been written about rolling moon tidal dials which show the time of high water at a particular location. The clock by John Kaye, which provides the focus for this article, has a universal tidal ring attached to its moon dial, but also shows the time, and uniquely the height of high water, using three other parts of its dial, namely: data engraved on a fixed arch (above the moon dial), data engraved on a subsidiary dial showing the effects of the moon’s elliptical orbit, and data engraved on a second subsidiary dial showing the effects of wind speed and direction. Our purpose was to understand and use this extra data and to establish its accuracy (particularly the heights of high water) both when it was made c.1775 and today. In addition, the clock took us on a round-the-world voyage, led by the locations on its chapter ring; the accuracy of the placement of these and the reasons for their selection was also studied. The dial which provides the focus of this has more numbers. There are also two article may be familiar to members who recall subsidiary dials, one marked perigee and seeing it in this journal in 2007, when it was apogee, and another showing wind directions. described to publicise the Your Time The chapter ring is more familiar, having a exhibition which was held at the Williamson series of locations marked between the hours Museum and Art Gallery in 2008.1 The dial is —some known and important today, others from a fine, mahogany longcase clock made in no longer in use. -
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. -

The Opening of Liverpool's First Dock, 1715
128 Communications { THE OPENING OF THE FIRST LIVERPOOL DOCK, 1715. OWING to loss of the early dock records at Liverpool, local historians are compelled to rely upon very slender evidence as to the date of the opening of the first dock, and a search of the files of contemporary newspapers at the British Museum and other important libraries, extending over the past two years, has failed to produce any reliable reference to this event, so important in local annals. A review of such evidences as exist, however, may not be here out of place. The facts concerning the planning of the dock, the preliminary survey, and the obtaining of an Act of Parliament, in 1708, to carry the project through, have all been competently recorded in the late Henry Peet's Memoir of Thomas Steers, published in Vol. 82 of these Transactions (1930). Primary evidence of the progress of its construction is negligible. In a book of sermons, entitled Zebulun's Blessing, by the Rev. C. Basnett, a Liverpool dissenting minister, published at Lancaster in 1714, there is a preface dated Liverpool, 21 August, 1713, the last paragraph of which reads : I am a hearty Wellwisher to the Trade and Peace and Prosperity of the Town ; I wish it all the Advantages that any can promise from the Dock when finish'd. May that ever be a defence to your Shipping and never appear against any as a Monument either of Stupidity or Ingratitude. But the Way to make it, or any-thing else, a real Blessing and to Secure them, is to serve God, and to be at Peace amongst your selves. -

Liverpool Outing Notes for Participants
Ilkley & District u3a SUMMER PROGRAMME 2021 Some notes for those participating in the visit to LIVERPOOL on 22 July. Postcodes are included so that if you wish you can orientate yourself on your phone using Google maps. The CITY of LIVERPOOL Liverpool stands on the eastern side of the Mersey estuary, where the river flows into the Irish sea. It became a borough in 1207, a city in 1880 and an independent borough apart from Lancashire in 1889. Throughout the Industrial Revolution Liverpool grew as a major port and the city expanded (see Old Dock tour below). In the 19th century Liverpool was a major port of departure for English and Irish emigrants to North America. Modern Liverpool has a population of 500,000 in 30 council wards (yes, Knotty Ash is a real place!). The city is closely associated with the arts, especially music. ALBERT DOCK L3 4AF At the beginning of the 19th century 40% of global trade passed through Liverpool’s docks. Albert Dock was opened by Prince Albert in 1846. Its enclosed design and direct loading and unloading of goods from warehouses meant that the complex was more secure than other docks. It became a popular store for valuable cargoes including brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. Today the former warehouses contain new museums, shops, bars and restaurants. FERRY ‘CROSS THE MERSEY L3 1HN The return trip from the Pierhead takes 50 minutes and costs £3.70. It provides fine views of Liverpool’s UNESCO World Heritage waterfront, often with the iconic song by Gerry Marsden & the Pacemakers playing in the background. -
