Chance finds have often helped locate archaeological sites, such as this tall cup found in a garden. A community excavation by Merseyside Archaeological Society and the Museum of Liverpool then located a dump of pottery. These pots had been beautifully made but something had gone wrong when they were fired in the kiln. This left them bent and warped or the shiny glazes on the surface bubbled, so they were thrown away. “The site was so rich in finds! Each time a corner of pottery emerged, we held our breath.” Rainford’s Roots volunteer How many pieces of pottery can you find in this dump of pottery and kiln waste which was found during test pitting? 3 What’s in your pot? Lots of examples of multi-handled drinking cups have been found in Rainford. These date from the 1600s. Sometimes they had lids to keep drinks warm or fresh. Inside a similar vessel discovered in Shropshire, 138 silver coins were found. The discovery was reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme. What other things might you find hidden in a cup like this? 0 Activity: Fill up and colour in your pot. 4 Clay pipes at Rainford Library These clay pipes were found during excavations at Rainford Library. Rainford was an important pipe manufacturing centre. Rainford Library is built on the site of a Victorian pipe-maker’s workshop. colour me 0 5 Spotlight on Bickerstaffe A glass-making workshop near Bickerstaffe, Lancashire, was excavated in the 1960s. A rectangular furnace was colour found, where the ingredients, including local sand, would me 0 have been melted to make glass. Large coarse pottery vessels, known as crucibles, would have held the molten (melted) glass until the glassworker was ready to create vessels by blowing into a long metal tube to create a glass bubble at the end. Fragments of fine pale green glass were found. Documents tell us that some of the glassmakers were from France. They were probably Huguenot, a group of Protestants who moved away from France after the Catholic government treated them badly because of their beliefs. 6 Glass made at Bickerstaffe The glass being made at Bickerstaffe was both window glass and fine drinking glasses. Question: Can you think of other uses of glass today? We know some of the glass was being used locally. An inventory for a yeoman, (a person who was free, and not a servant, and who worked on his own land) called Rauffe Roose, from Ormskirk, who died in 1601 includes both window glass and drinking glasses. A list of Rauffe Roose’s goods and chattels included: • glass in the parlor windowe • glass in the new chamber • [glass] in the clossett • [glass] in the parlor and the backe syde in glass • 14 glasses & 10 earthen pottes 0 The base of a wine glass from the 1600s – imagine what it might have been like and draw the rest. Activity: Write your own inventory (list) of what is in your bedroom. 7 Liverpool’s Docks The first dock in Liverpool, later known as the ‘Old Dock’, opened in 1715 at the mouth of the Pool, an inlet of the Mersey which gave Liverpool its name. Over the next 200 years Liverpool built more than 50 docks, stretching seven miles from Seaforth in the north to Dingle in the south. Many historic docks fell out of use in the 1900s and were filled in, but their remains are sometimes excavated when new buildings are going to be built at the waterfront. In 2001 the Old Dock was excavated by archaeologists before the Liverpool ONE shopping centre was built. The dock was found to have been cut into the natural sandstone and dock walls built from brick with stone toppings. Activity: Archaeologists use maps to spot changes in the landscape, this helps them know how places have developed over time. Spot the docks on this 1836 map and research their names. 8 Manchester Dock Before the Museum of Liverpool was built an archaeologcial excavation on the site revealed the Manchester Dock. The dock had been built between 1800 and 1810. The dock was constructed by reclaiming land from the River Mersey. One common type of find at the Manchester Dock site was sugar moulds. These were made in Prescot and were thrown away here to help build up the land from the river. Many small sugar refineries existed in Liverpool 200 years ago. The raw sugar was produced by enslaved Africans on plantations in the West Indies and shipped to Liverpool to be refined into high quality expensive cones of sugar, using these pots. Some of the pots are badly worn showing that they were heavily used. Activity: Potter William Ashcroft stamped his name on the pots he made. Can you print your name in plasticine, playdough, clay or pastry? 9 Defence As Liverpool merchants were dealing with valuable goods they often built secure warehouses and defended their ships with small cannons. The sea could be a violent place with navies and privateers (individuals licensed by the navy) defending their waters by attacking foreign ships; and pirates attacking and stealing cargoes. A cannon was found during building works at Old Hall Street, Liverpool. This type of short-barrelled gun was made in small iron foundries in larger seaports such as Liverpool, Bristol and London. They were used for arming smaller merchant vessels, and to protect vulnerable coastal communities and estates. They were also used to attack by private war ships and slave merchants. Activity: have a go at making a rubber band cannon: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=oq145AHJPw0&feature=youtu.be 10 Food Specialized types of kitchenware are made from the 1600s onwards, such as this salting pan for salting and cooking meats. This was discovered in Newton-le-Willows. Kitchen equipment such as colanders, storage jars, and large mixing bowls or pancheons are found by archaeologists. Liverpool ‘s most famous food is ‘scouse’, a type of stew, originally known as ‘lobscouse’ introduced from Scandinavia and first mentioned in 1706. Activity: Have a go at cooking your own scouse www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/lamb-scouse To make a veggie version you can cut out the lamb and add more vegetables. This is called ‘blind scouse’. Street food including mussels, cockles and oysters were eaten at the Georigian market at South Castle Street, Liverpool. The shells were thrown away and found by archaeologists in 1977. Question: What objects in your kitchen might be found by archaeologists in 100 years? Think about what cooking utensils are made of and what would survive in the ground. 11 Fashion Clothing has always helped express someone’s wealth, style and identity. Controls were sometimes put in place to make sure good quality clothes were being sold: “It is ordered by the sayd inquest that the mayre for the tyme being shall apoynte a tanner and a shoe maker” (Liverpool Town Books 1541) Archaeological finds of personal items tell us about changes in fashion: Hair or wig curlers were found during excavations on South Castle Street, Liverpool. Curlers were commonly used from the 1600s and were probably made by pipe makers as they used the same type of clay. Decoration on pottery can often tell us more about what people were wearing. Watch: Getting dressed in the 18th century Decorative shoe buckle found at www.youtube.com/ Sefton Old Hall. watch?v=UpnwWP3fOSA Question: Does what you wear tell other people about what you like such as sports, your favourite colour, games or music? 12 Schools A big development in the industrial “In this school the teaching is period was the availability of free very intelligent.

  • 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.

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.

  • Whs-Spd-Lowres
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City World Heritage Site Supplementary Planning Document Adopted October 2009 Foreword Foreword by Peter Millea, Executive Member for Regeneration and John Kelly, Executive Director Regeneration This Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for the World Heritage Site (WHS) is issued following extensive public consultation by Liverpool City Council. The City Council and partners have noted the representations made by many that the WHS should contribute to the regeneration, visitor economy and local sense of civic pride in Liverpool, over coming months and years. The City Council will therefore commit more resources to promotion and interpretation of the WHS to ensure that its unique cultural heritage is fully utilised, as well as being properly conserved. The purpose of the SPD is to provide a planning framework for development which will enhance the city’s heritage and boost investment, tourism and regeneration. Above all, it is intended as a policy document which will encourage economic regeneration with an emphasis on quality. It is part of an emerging statutory development framework for the city which will outline more specific guidance on land allocations to prioritise target areas for economic growth for the whole city, including the World Heritage Site and areas bordering on it. The SPD includes important principles about World Heritage Site management in the longer term, with the emphasis on preserving and enhancing Liverpool’s outstanding universal value and the quality of its public realm. However, it is being issued at a time when the global and UK economy is contracting and a main priority for the City Council is the city’s continuing economic regeneration.
