You will be entertained with amusing and sometimes bone-chilling stories from Liverpool's past and from more recent times.
Liverpool was at its trading peak during the late Georgian and early Victorian periods and its affluent merchants were seeking grand houses outside the town centre. It was during this period that Hope Street and Rodney Street were laid out and the building of fine houses began.
Take a journey back in time and learn about the famous residents and rich history of this era. Rodney Street is one of the few streets that would still be recognised by Liverpool's 19th Century residents today.
As Liverpool grew as a port and after the building of the “Old Dock”, the wealthy merchants and slave traders desired to move out of the town centre and began building homes in what was then the outskirts and countryside of the town. This tour will take you through the streets of the affluent, financed by the blood of the enslaved.
