Speke Hall is a rare Tudor timber-framed manor house in an unusual setting on the banks of the River Mersey.

Speke Hall is seeking a resident maker with an interest in the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement to engage with this unique history and environment.

Butler Images/Andrew Trust ©National Background information Speke Hall was built by the devout Catholic Norris family - keen to impress visitors with the grandeur of their home and in particular the magnificent Great Hall - this building has witnessed more than 400 years of turbulent history. From the Tudor period when a secret priest hole was an essential feature, to years of neglect and decay in the 18th and 19th centuries before being dragged into the Victorian era of improvement and technology, In the late 18th Century the house was let to shipping Magnate and arts patron Frederick Leyland. Leyland was responsible hanging original Williams Morris wallpapers throughout the property before the prints found favour in fashionable interior design circles. Hung in 1867 Daisy, Trellis and Pomegranate designs were all used at Speke Hall. Frosh Images/Geoffrey Trust ©National Artist James McNeill Whistler was also regularly entertained at Speke Hall and worked on several etchings of the house and nearby area. However Whistlers friendship with Leyland resulted in a long-term feud after Leyland commissioned the artist to decorate the dining room in another of his homes, ‘The Peacock Room’. The Speke Hall Makers Residency reflects on this period of arts patronage that has shaped the character of Speke Hall, and seeks to explore the ethos of the socially idealistic Arts and Crafts Movement influence found in this outwardly traditional Tudor house.

There is a production budget of up to £4000 to realise this new work which will be shown at Speke Hall in Autumn 2016. Further budget is available to resource artists travel.

  • Liverpool's History Throughout the Centuries
    Page One A BROCHURE f O C OMMEMORATE THE COMPLETION OF 50 YEARS MUNICIP AL OWNERSHIP OF TH E 1 POOL ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNDERT AKING. MUf R , 1946 Page Two FOREWORD l' N the following pages my Committee have attempted to present an epitome of J Liverpool's history throughout the centuries, a somewhat more detailed accoun,t of her recent past, with emphasis on the cultural, social and industrial aspects of community life, and finally, a note on the future aspirations and prospects of our City. The event which has provided the occasion for this publication is the fiftieth anniversary of the acquisition by th: Corporation of what is perhaps the greatest of its public services-the ElectriCity Supply Undertaking. Electricity in its many applications has so woven itself into the fabric of modern existence that there is hardly an activity of city life which is not dependent in some measure, on its ministering power-industry, transport, the home, the cinema, the hospital. even the church service, are beholden to this universal and silent servant. On the physical side it is the linch-pin of community life and the main hope of better things to come. And so, as the pageant of history passes under review, and as we read of the achievements of sci~nce, the ever widening social activity of our corporate life, and the devastation of war, let us take courage and resolve that, whate'er befall, this great City and Port will be found ready and willing to play its full part in building anew that industrial and commercial leadership which has made Britain great, and Liverpool a household word wherever ships find anchorage.

  • 2018 Liverpool
    GUIDE 1 Welcome to the 2018 NOPS Kit Kat Tour Liverpool is a great city. It’s a place where the new and old rub shoulders, where Brutalist buildings contrast with Victorian and Edwardian architecture. The Royal Liver Building stands next to the Cunard Building and behind them rises the slender brutalist spire of the beacon at St John’s Shopping Centre. The gothic Anglican cathedral (newer than it appears) and the defiantly modern Catholic cathedral sit at either end of Hope Street. Lancashire’s rambling countryside, challenging moorland and extensive waterways make it a natural habitat for outdoor photography, with two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to conquer, including the majestic Pendle Hill. The locations listed in the guide have been selected as popular areas to photograph. I have tried to be accurate with the postcodes but as many locations are rural, they are an approximation. They are not intended as an itinerary but as a starting point for a trigger-happy weekend. Most are within one hour drive of our accommodation. Please take care and be respectful of the landscape around you. If you intend climbing or doing any other dangerous activities, please go in pairs (at least). 2 Locations Map Page 3 Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve Map Ref 1 Postcode PR8 2QB This reserve is a mix of open dunes and pine woods with many way marked paths. The dunes are home to many animals and insects including a distinctive race of sand lizards, the fearsome dune tiger beetle (2cm long) and up to 20% of the national population of nocturnal natterjack toads.
