I am seeking info about the life of my relative William Corrigal who was a master mariner. He dies in 1810 and I have traced him to Poole Street in 1796 and the baptisms of his children at Beens Gardens, now Renshaw Presbyterian church. Trying to get a sense of life at that time and how I can trace more about him So great was the volume of commerce flowing through the port of Liverpool in the nineteenth century that it sometimes eclipsed London. We watch as he turns from schoolboy truant into an artist obsessed with Kafka, Terence Davies and The Fall. 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.This book brings to life a selection of the most notorious, and grimmest, murders and other crimes in and around Liverpool from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries. During World War II, Liverpool represented an obvious target both as a strategic port and as an active manufacturing centre, and it became the second most bombed city in Britain. Almost 4,000 people perished and large areas of the city were reduced to rubble. Liverpool was given a financial boost when substantial numbers of English troops were garrisoned in the area prior to being transported to Ireland to put down rebellions in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Still a relatively small town in 1600, Liverpool had a population of barely 2,000. Liverpool, 1660-1750 provides the first significant detailed published study of the social and political structure of the town during this crucial period.

Beginning life as a tiny town on the banks of the Mersey, flanked by a castle and the adjoining �Pool�, Liverpool has grown into a city of worldwide fame with many fine streets and a magnificent waterfront. A market was granted early in the history of the town, held on a Saturday, when herds of animals were driven over the Townsend Bridge from the Everton hills, and bought and sold along with many other goods in the area of Chapel Street and the White Cross. Around the turn of the century the trams were converted to run on electricity and some of Liverpool’s most iconic buildings were built, including the Liver and Cunard Buildings.

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. 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! This month we feature ‘The Sinking of the Alabama and the Quest of Mary Elizabeth Low’ by John Hussey in Journal 22. Liverpool Journalist, Simon Hughes, takes us across the shifting tides of Liverpool’s ever-changing fortunes. From our golden era as one of the wealthiest ports in the British Empire, to Thatcher’s ‘managed decline’ of the city, this inspired depiction of the city’s resurgence will make you proud to be a Scouser.

However, the creation of the borough, and the granting of rights for entrepreneurs over the next few centuries ensured a rapid growth on both the size and importance of the new town.
