About This Tour
If you’re a local or just visiting Liverpool, this tour will reveal many of the hidden depths of Liverpool’s history. From King John granting Liverpool a charter in 1207, the town largely remained the same until the late 17th Century when Liverpool began to develop as a port. The construction of the “Old Dock” was a major turning point that saw a massive increase in trade and the wealth of the city that continued until just after the Second World War. It is the period from the construction of the “Old Dock” up to the mid 20th Century that this tour covers and gives an insight into the key events, the people and buildings connected to them and the legacy these have left for Liverpool. We will strip away the veil of modernity and reveal the past - hidden in plain sight, and show you Liverpool’s aspirations for the future. Minimum of 2 people required for the tour to run.
