Liverpool: the first 1,000 years – extracts. Chapter 4 - import-export. Who were the original Scousers? Saxons drifted in, building small settlements and churches; Vikings, who had been raiding the west coast sporadically for a while, eventually started to settle and built more churches. Place names and a few archaeological finds are all that’s left of these early settlements. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). More about the book.

LIVERPOOL: the first 1,000 years: Feedback: from novelist Sue Haasler
http://liverpoolfirst1000years.blogspot.com/2007/03/feedback-from-novelist-sue-haasler.html
LIVERPOOL: the first 1,000 years. Feedback: from novelist Sue Haasler. Your book arrived this morning, and I've spent all afternoon reading it (ignoring my daughter's pleas to help her draw arms on fairies, feed her etc). I just wanted to let you know that I think it's wonderful - you've done the city proud. Although negative things are necessarily mentioned, the overall impression is of the Liverpool I love - characterful, vibrant, full of history and culture, unique. More of the book.

LIVERPOOL: the first 1,000 years: Kind but anonymous comment...
http://liverpoolfirst1000years.blogspot.com/2008/01/kind-but-anonymous-comment.html
LIVERPOOL: the first 1,000 years. Kind but anonymous comment. I applaud the writing and photography in the book. Probably the most pored over book I have in my Liverpool collection. On another topic, do you have connections with David Wood's Liverpool Pictorial www.liverpoolpictorial.co.uk.co.uk? He has a huge archive recording the development of the waterfront over the past 5 years which I find fascinating. 01 April 2007 12:43. More of the book. Extracts from chaptes 1-5. READ about other great books.

LIVERPOOL: the first 1,000 years: LOVE THE BOOK!
http://liverpoolfirst1000years.blogspot.com/2007/04/love-book.html
LIVERPOOL: the first 1,000 years. I'm fortunate to have at least one friend with taste and he gave me your fabulous book for Christmas. I thought I'd found my favourite Liverpool book in Quentin Hughes 'Liverpool: City of Architecture' - which you quite rightly describe as 'delicious' - but your's is even better! It's a beautifully honest, unpretentious piece of work that celebrates the achievements of the city yet acknowledges we've still got some way to go. Great book - makes me proud to live here.

Liverpool: the first 1,000 years – extracts: Chapter 5 - moving
http://liverpoolfirst1000yearsextracts.blogspot.com/2008/01/chapter-5-moving.html
Liverpool: the first 1,000 years – extracts. Chapter 5 - moving. Local councils to build roads and collect tolls, and the network of turnpike roads grew. It must have been an exciting moment when, on 1st September 1760, the first stage coach – the Flying Machine – left the Golden Fleece in Dale Street. Then it took four days to get to London but before long the competition drove down the journey time, and by 1785 coaching inns were advertising Liverpool to London trips in 26 hours. Why do we complain so ...

Liverpool: the first 1,000 years – extracts: Chapter1 - timeline
http://liverpoolfirst1000yearsextracts.blogspot.com/2008/01/chapter1-timeline.html
Liverpool: the first 1,000 years – extracts. In 1561 there were 690 people living in 138 cottages in the town’s seven inhabited streets: Chapel Street, Castle Street, Dale Street, Bancke (now Water) Street, Moor (now Tithebarn) Street, Juggler (now High) Street, and Peppard (now Old Hall) Street. Liverpool as yet was not attracting much maritime trade anyway – and this wasn’t helped by the destruction of the haven by the great storm of 1560. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
