Course DescriptionA 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.

If a course is cancelled because of low numbers, a full refund will be issued to the same card that was used to pay the fee. Refunds will be identified on bank and credit/debit card statements as being from the University of Liverpool. We may also offer you a transfer to an alternative course if you wish, subject to any difference in fees and the availability of places. If a student wishes to withdraw from a course, an emailed application for a refund must be received by the CE Office a minimum of 14 days before the course start date. No refunds will be issued after this date. All refunds are subject to an administrative charge of 10% of the relevant fee.

All notices of cancellation must be made in writing by email to [email protected] or [email protected] Course Transfers Your enrolment is for a specific course. Very occasionally students find they need to transfer to a different course. This happens most frequently in languages when the chosen study level is not the most appropriate for a student’s prior knowledge. Transfers can only be made for good reason, at the discretion of the department and subject to availability of course places. All course transfers must take place within 2 weeks of classes starting, in line with University regulations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
