  • 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.

  • The Everton FC Collection
    www.cultureliverpool.co.uk/the-everton-fc-collection/ The Everton FC Collection The Everton FC Collection is presented by Jan Grace from Liverpool Record Office and forms part of the Liverpool Through the Archives series, produced for the Connecting Our Communities project… The Everton Collection is the largest and most diverse collection of any football club in the UK. It covers the history of football on Merseyside, including when Everton and Liverpool were originally one team known only as Everton, and they played their football at Anfield. The reason why the Everton Collection exists is fundamentally because of one man, David France, and his steadfast devotion to Everton Football Club. This led him from buying a programme as an 8-year-old to prove to his Mum that he had attended the match, to progressing to systematically buying an astounding amount of EFC material that evidences both the social and footballing history of the first football club of Liverpool. In 2010, The Everton Collection Charitable Trust, with support from The Heritage Lottery Fund, purchased David France’s collection for a seven-figure sum and when, at the same time, Everton FC gifted its own archive, The Everton Collection was formed. The Collection is located at Liverpool Record Office at Liverpool Central Library where it is preserved and conserved in purpose-built archive accommodation meeting the highest standards for long-term preservation and under the care of professional archivists. The Everton Collection Charitable Trust was set up, with Lord Grantchester as Chair, to ensure the integrity of the Collection in future years, to prevent it from being split up and sold.

  • Global Game, Local Identity: the Social Production of Football Space in Liverpool
    GLOBAL GAME, LOCAL IDENTITY: THE SOCIAL PRODUCTION OF FOOTBALL SPACE IN LIVERPOOL DANIEL EVANS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August, 2014 © Daniel Evans, 2014 ii Abstract Based on participant observation of matches and interviews with key informants in Liverpool, UK, this thesis sets out the situation of the globalized English Premier League and its consequences for football (soccer) fandom in Liverpool. I am looking at both the reliance on and resistance to a tourist based consumption of the game. Using a Lefebvrian theoretical framework I analyze how football space is created in Liverpool and how the supporters’ groups of different teams in the city work to both globalize and glocalize the football culture of the city, and are looking to reshape their relationship with football’s current economic and cultural space. As Liverpool increasingly relies on a tourist-based economy with sport as its focus, it is altering the relationship between supporters and their clubs, and with other fans. The monitoring of fan performances by both authorities and other fans can be considered through Foucauldian conceptions of power to continuously shift the dynamics between different groups of supporters. iii Acknowledgements As I spend much of this thesis discussing the formation of social groups and the importance of community, I must acknowledge the many people that helped me in the creation of this work. First, my informants, who helped me understand the football world in Liverpool: Paul Gallagher, Jay McKenna, John Bennett, Andrew Sherlock, Ros Merkin, James Benson, Mike Humphries, Chris Stirrup, Feargal McAvoy, and Steve Kelley.

  • Redevelopment of Goodison Park (3 New Stands Scheme) Page 1 of 29
    Redevelopment of Goodison Park (3 new stands scheme) Page 1 of 29 GOODISON PARK REDEVELOPMENT INTRODUCTION In recent years a regular assertion has been that it is simply not possible to redevelop Goodison Park due to its confined location etc, with this option simply dismissed out of hand. The irony being, it was in fact this confinement that forced the club’s founding fathers to employ stadium visionaries such as Archibald Leitch who, through innovative design developed the then revolutionary double-decker format for which Goodison Park became famous, creating the best stadium in the country with the third highest capacity on one of the smallest footprints of all the major clubs. Indeed, necessity was the mother of invention regarding Goodison Park, both in terms of its initial founding and its subsequent development throughout the decades. This has been a natural evolution, a historic process that need not end now nor in Kirkby where the blank canvas on offer might not prompt such innovation. Obviously Goodison Park does pose design problems, but I will attempt to show how it also provides a neat set of solutions for this historic site and club. A Design Brief: Goodison Park: Some of the basic problems perceived or otherwise which need to be addressed: 1. Insufficient capacity for a club of our status, and with our fanbase. Average attendance over the past 10 years approximately 37,000 despite no success, and with approx 4,000 obstructed seats. 2. Outdated facilities, too many obstructed views, and poor sightlines. 3. In parts shabby/unattractive appearance to both fans and potential investors.
