Liverpool Part 3: Science & Industry
Join us on a historical tour of Liverpool. World famous for The Beatles and its football clubs, Liverpool has a rich and influential history and magnificent architectural heritage. Ye Olde Guide explores the history of English towns and cities in four categories: Politics & War, Arts & Culture, Science & Industry, and Urban Landscape.
In the third of four parts on Liverpool we’ll be covering the industrial history of Liverpool, including the essential role of Liverpool's docks in world trade. The wealth brought by the docks led to large infrastructure development such as the Liveprool Overhead Railway and numerous tunnels.
Don’t miss episodes one and two, which told the story of migration, the role of Liverpool in the second world war and enormous musical influence.
