  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

  • Member Update
    MEMBER UPDATE JUNE 2020 | JUNE 2020 PAGE | 02 CHRIS SHIRLING-ROOKE REFLECTS It is my immense pleasure to welcome you to the June edition of the Mersey Maritime Ezine! Once again I am astounded by the volume of material we are able to present to you this month from a whole range of businesses and organisations connected with the maritime sector here in the Liverpool City Region and beyond. I can’t quite believe it is June, very nearly July, already as we have passed the longest day and by rights we should be looking forward to a little relaxation and refreshment over the summer months. This year has been quite different! The global pandemic continues to affect all of our lives, and whilst for many businesses their work has continued apace, I sense there’s a real desire to start returning to something that looks like ‘normal’. This will still mean being sensible, alert and alive to the new realities that the health crisis has thrown our way and recognising that it hasn’t yet gone away. It is worth reflecting for just a moment on where we are as an organisation and how we have responded to the challenge we’ve faced as a maritime community. During the last 15 weeks Mersey Maritime has: Continued to provide guidance and support for our 200 members E Delivered 22 digital events… … to over 550 individuals Issued 2 industry wide surveys, and C Fed the results into national and local government policy and planning. E I truly believe we are ‘Stronger Together’ and I hope you will agree that I Mersey Maritime has risen to the challenge that the last few weeks has presented to us all.

Opinions vary about this, but numerous examples of successful online media campaigns abound, such as Barack Obama‟s use of social media during the US Presidential campaign. Today, other governments are quick to utilise similar environments, and 10 Downing Street has accounts with both YouTube and Flickr, the popular websites used for video and photo sharing respectively. Additionally, marketing and communications departments in business, industry, the arts and the media are rapidly re-organising their strategies around the rise of digital convergence and in light of evidence that demonstrates the decline (or fragmentation) of mass media audiences. These circumstances are pertinent to the hosting of European Capital of Culture by Liverpool in 2008. In short, if we want to understand how audiences were engaged during 2008, we need to complement a range of surveys and reporting with analyses of online activity, which have the potential to reflect both broader media perspectives and the views of people on the street.

  • A Vision for North Shore
    View from Lee - north to south Published September 2020 3 North Shore Vision I am pleased to introduce this North Shore Vision for the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site. Foreword Liverpool is a city that is undergoing a multi-billion pound renaissance and we are constantly seeking the right balance where regeneration and conservation can complement each other. We are proud of our unique heritage and have a desire to ensure that the city continues to thrive, with its historic legacy safeguarded and enhanced. On 17 July 2019, Liverpool City Council declared a Climate Change Emergency and I led a debate on the impending global ecological disaster, calling on all political parties to come together to rise to the challenge of making Liverpool a net zero carbon city by 2030. The way we do things in the future will need to change to a more sustainable model. To achieve this, the city has embraced the principles of the United Nations Development and this document sets out our ambitions for future growth and development for the North Shore area of the city firmly within this context. We have already begun work with partners to deliver that ambition. Existing and highly successful examples include the iconic Titanic Hotel redevelopment, restoration of the Tobacco Warehouse and the proposed refurbishment of the listed Engine House at Bramley Moore Dock which reinvigorate dilapidated heritage assets on the North Docks, providing access and interpretation to a new generation of people in the City. Liverpool has a well-earned reputation for being a city of firsts.

    Manchester City Council Item16 Executive 11 March 2009 Manchester City Council Report for Resolution Report To: Executive – 11th March 2009 Subject: Atlantic (Ocean) Gateway Report of: The Chief Executive Summary This report seeks to inform Members about an initiative, initially by Peel Holdings, which has potential implications for the economic growth of the city region. Recommendations That Executive:- (a) Acknowledge that there maybe some opportunities arising as a result of the Atlantic Gateway concept which have the potential to support the Manchester City Region Growth agenda (b) Agree that these opportunities need to be explored and evidenced in the context of the emerging Regional Strategy (c) Agree that the Council cannot support Atlantic Gateway as a concept of growth until more detailed evidence is made available and the concept is better defined and understood (d) Agree that, in close collaboration with other AGMA Authorities, the Council stands prepared to work constructively with Government Office, the NWDA and other agencies to develop an evidential base to ensure that the concept is appropriately defined, and bring forward aspects of the overall concept which promote and complement city region regeneration priorities. (e) Urge the NWDA to commission an economic, environmental and social cost benefit analysis of the concept and emerging proposals to: • maximise long-term sustainable economic growth • understand the impacts (positive and negative) that the pursuit of the concept could have on the abilities of the city-regions to drive overall regional growth • assist in ensuring public investment/intervention is better aligned and appropriately targeted (f) Request that Officers report back to this Executive on progress on these matters at relevant times.
