I. A thriving cityA. The origins of Liverpool’s prosperity

Describe Liverpool’s location and show its assets as a costal location

‘ It’s a very rich trading town, the houses are of brick and stone, built high and even so that a street looks very handsome. …There is an abundance of persons who are well dressed and fashionable. …It is London in miniature as much as I ever saw anything. There is a very pretty exchange. …a very handsome Town Hall.’ A 17th century chronicler

Prepare a brief presentation about one slave-related place of Liverpool. You’ll localize the place on a map and explain the origin of the building and/or its use when it’s linked to slavery. An old map of Liverpool https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Liverpool_1836.jpg

A postcard in the 1960s

In the first half of the 20th century, 40% of the world’s trade passed through Liverpool. In the 1950s and 1960s the port’s activities attracted all sorts of economic activities like engeneering, manufacturing, banking and insurance

Explain the decline of the 1970s

“Recovering with remarkable speed after the ravages of the War years, Liverpool resumed her position as 'a giant of the age of conventional cargo shipping', a position which the port held until that era ended in the late 1960s. Since this point Liverpool's relative importance among UK ports has significantly declined. Although still the second British port in 1970, by 1984 Liverpool had been overtaken by the south and east coast ports of Dover and Felixstowe and was being closely rivalled by Southampton, Harwich and Immingham. Amongst the reasons for this relative decline were the revolutionary changes in transport and cargo handling technology introduced from the mid-1960s. These changes quickly made a large part of Liverpool's conventional port facilities obsolete. The cost of providing modern port facilities has been much less in the southern and eastern ports, where the tidal range is not so great. Similarly, the large shift of Britain's trade towards continental Europe has also benefited the southern and eastern ports far more than those, such as Liverpool, on the west coast. Subsequently, Liverpool's south dock system was closed to commercial traffic in 1972.”

THE PIE SHOP REVIVING AN ANFIELD STREET Rachel Pugh for https://www.theguardian.com, Wed 19 Apr 2017 A cooperative bakery in the shadow of Liverpool FC’s stadium is aiming to transform a derelict terrace into affordable homes for the local community The Homebaked cooperative bakery is in prime position to sell pies to some of the 40,000 football fans who come to the Anfield stadium on an average match day. What its customers might not realise is that in the back room of the Victorian premises a group of locals have cooked up a plan to transform the empty properties next door into 26 high-quality, affordable flats. Spawned from an arts project in the 2010 Liverpool Biennale, Homebaked has grown into a community-led housing and enterprise scheme incorporating the bakery which makes and sells an average of 1,200 pies a week (including a contract for 700-1,000 to Liverpool FC for hospitality on match days), a well-used café providing employment and training, and a wholesale pie business. During that time, its annual turnover has grown from £60,000 to £250,000, with 12 staff and dozens of volunteers. It all started from a sense of despair and an angry determination by local residents not to let their home patch and identity be destroyed after 20 years of plans – some but not all of which were carried out – to flatten the area, forcing many out of their homes and communities and leaving others living in uncertainty. While Liverpool’s failed regeneration plans have left lasting scars on the city, Homebaked has become something of a social movement, with aspirations to develop more projects in the community, including a school
