Course Description

A fascinating cultural survey of Merseyside's public parks, beginning with Joseph Paxton's influential Birkenhead Park (1847) and finishing with Liverpool Festival Gardens; this course is intended to highlight the rich visual history and developmental stories behind these important locations, which have always been accessible to all. Merseyside has more than 10 listed parks and cemeteries, including three Grade I and five Grade II*, more than any other UK location outside London; it is high time that their significance is celebrated. This course will appeal to anyone with an interest in Liverpool history, town planning, natural history, art, architecture and social history.
