Kalzip® Coast to Coast Kalzip® Coast to Coast Uniclass EPIC L52:P43 E3:X421 CI/SfB (47) Xh4 June 2002 Kalzip® coast to coast Kalzip® coast to coast This guide features Kalzip projects spread out along the ‘M62 corridor’ running from coast to coast – from Liverpool in the west through to Hull in the east. The region has seen a spate of construction activity that has probably been unmatched since the immediate post war years. And, looking at the nature and calibre of many of the projects – public buildings of international acclaim, major sporting facilities and substantial investment in the public transport infrastructure of the region – it is surely true to say that there has been nothing like it since the Victorian era when the region’s cities and monuments were built from the profits of the industrial revolution. Kalzip aluminium standing seam has been a popular choice with specifiers right across the board and it is a credit to the very high levels of design and installation capability found amongst our approved Teamkal network of contractors, that they have been involved in the construction of some of the most prestigious and award winning projects including; the Imperial War Museum North, The Lowry, the Royal Mail Rail Terminal and the Manchester Airport Rail Station.

In particular, both cities confronted a number of problems in the immediate aft ermath of war. Although the First World War fi nally ended in 1918 and was strongly welcomed by the millions who marched across Britain on the Peace Day of July 1919, the transition to peace did not always remain smooth. 1 For example, waves of racially motivated riots occurred in several port cities in 1919, including Cardiff and London. Provoked by concerns about unemployment and miscegenation, violence targeted black seamen and dock workers. 2 Liverpool saw the worst of the violence with murderous results: a young black sailor named Charles Whootton died following a chase through the city by a lynch mob; pursued by a baying crowd which shouted ‘ let him drown! ’ he was either pushed or jumped into the docks. 3 In the same year, Liverpool also experienced the highest proportion of strike action in the Police Strike of 1919, in comparison with London, with fi ve times as many policemen striking.
