About this book
Liverpool's changing streets supply the thread for these memories of markets, theatres, docks and everyday habits. Presented as the recollections of a man in his nineties, the account grew from a series in the Liverpool Compass. Its conversational manner lets one remembered place lead to another, combining local history with anecdotes about the people who used the city's streets and public buildings.
The details make large changes tangible: Lord Street is widened, rents rise, and gas lighting replaces unreliable oil lamps. Complaints about roadworks sit beside jokes about sloping floors, while a story of volunteers mistaking geese for an enemy camp gives the civic record a comic turn.
