Annual Conference Programme - Thursday 16 April 2009
10:45-14:30 - Transforming Liverpool City Centre
Field Visit - All KS
Dr Janet Speake, Senior Lecturer in Geography, Liverpool Hope University and Rob Morris, Geography Teacher, Shrewsbury School
Catalysed in part by its role as European Capital of Culture 2008, Liverpool city centre has recently experienced remarkable change. During this trail we will visit a number of locations including the Pier Head, Liverpool One and Ropewalks which encapsulate Liverpool's current transformation and re-imaging. This Field Visit is partly subsided by a legacy from the late Professor William Balchin. Price: £5 including FREE copy of Discovering Cities: Liverpool.
Please note: transport to Liverpool Lime Street is not included - delegates may make their own travel arrangements or take the 09:37 train from Manchester Piccadilly returning at 14:52 - £9.20 return. Check times and prices before travelling as these may be subject to change.
