Liverpool: A People's History

Product Information

What do you buy the fan of the team who have won everything? Fortunately, there are Liverpool FC books on all aspects of the most successful club in English football history, from a Steven Gerrard autobiography as uncompromising as the player himself to a Jurgen Klopp book – I Feel Fine – that sings of the Kop’s love for their German manager. This concept also extends into the future. In years to come, will your shiny new PC be able to read the letters you typed to your pen pal? How about the essay you wrote in school on Windows 95, or DOS, or on a Mac? There are already a large number of files on my computer that I can no longer read. They were created with Microsoft Works, a program which I no longer own. Of course, I might be able to find a modern programme which can read these ancient files, but there are already a number of people trying to prevent this situation from developing, or getting worse. Open archaeology to the rescue

However, my second qualification is that I am a Liverpudlian born and bred, and I am deeply proud of both of these facts. The story of Cain's, like the story of Liverpool, is one of passion, ambition and graft. It takes in immigration, global trade, terrible poverty and vast wealth. I am also interested in the foundation of the non conformists movement at this time in the city, I have a note on the first alms houses erected, and the new school to be built around 1765. In 1680 the first house had been built on the eastern side of the Pool, a landmark in the expansion of Liverpool. In the middle of the 19th Century, the southern regions around Duke Street, Seel Street and Bold Street were growing up as the preferred area for entrepreneurial individuals associated with the ever expanding trade Liverpool was conducting with her hinterland. On Duke Street, merchants lived in close proximity to the offices out of which they conducted business. This was also the area where a number of newspapers were published. These provided essential communication between those conducting business in the nearby town, and their equivalents in the other major cities: Manchester, Bristol, London. The darker side of this was the fact that many of these traders (in fact, almost all of those conducting business in this area at the time) made their money from the ‘West India Trade’– slavery.

The software listed below will often be compatible with your current documents, too. You’ll be able to save them in open formats so that you can read them in years to come.Liverpool Beyond the Brink is a fascinating commentary on the economic decline that caused the physical, social and political fragmentation of the imperial city during the 1970s and the efforts since then to revive and reconnect it.

And so, since about 2005, I’ve been putting my knowledge of my city of birth down on paper (and screen) – and here we are! Becher’s Brook at Aintree, the legendary Kop at Anfield, the 18th tee at Hoylake – just three hallowed Liverpool landmarks on the map of international sport.The relationship between humans and horses has played a vital role in shaping our towns and cities.

My name is Martin Greaney, and I did my undergraduate studies (BA Archaeology and Prehistory) at Sheffield Uni, and stayed there to do my MA in Landscape Archaeology. After completing this, I worked for English Heritage’s National Monuments Record (now the Historic England Archives), helping them put thousands of their records online. But that was all a long time ago now… All our newspaper based products are printed and produced in the original format of the newspaper and are not amended in any way. For the print to be small in some parts of the book, this is how the headline or article would have been printed at the time and due to the reproduction license, unfortunately cannot be changed. The expanding town was rapidly proving its independence from other influences nearby. In 1704 Liverpool was first made into a parish, for the first time separate from Walton-on-the-Hill under whose auspices it had been since it was founded. St Peter’s Church was duly built in 1699 in the orchard on the south side of Church Street. At this time this was the edge of Liverpool; Bold Street did not yet exist, and the area was open countryside.

There’s a saying in England: It’s grim up north! Largely used pejoratively (by the south), it’s true to say it is generally colder and wetter, the landscape more unforgiving, the people – friendlier in my opinion – are more outspoken and candid. The cities of Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, with their declining industries and rising unemployment, provide fertile ground for crime writers. So when I started my own series following the investigations of DS Adam Tyler and his cold case team it didn’t take long to settle on my adopted home of Sheffield as the setting. Be warned: we’re a long way from the sleepy villages of Agatha Christie here.

Liverpool Then and Now takes the reader on a journey through a city once considered the ‘second city of empire’. This book examines Liverpool’s popular music through the history of the places where it has been performed and examines their role and significance. This massive growth and prosperity was, in the main, paid for by the infamous triangular trade of sugar, tobacco and slaves between the West Indies, Africa and the Americas. Being strategically placed to exploit such transatlantic trade, Liverpool soon became the fastest growing city in the world. Special emphasis is given to aerial views that demonstrate the changing townscape of the city and the setting of its buildings.
