This talk will look at the topography of Liverpool, and emphasise the importance of the Pool in creating the town's medieval street pattern. Christina Clarke is a former member of the Wavertree Society's Committee. She will explain how her group, The Save Our City Campaign, ensured that the seven original streets of Liverpool were recognised in perpetuity.
Bonk street/Bank street, Moore street, Juggler street, where are they now?
Come along to Christina's talk and you'll find out!

The above "Plan of Liverpool and the Pool as they appeared about the Year 1650" was originally published in 1829 by Thomas Kaye. It was "Copied from the Original Drawing, as deposited in the Court of the Duchy of Lancaster, and from other authentic and original documents, for The Stranger in Liverpool"
You can find many more old maps of Liverpool on Martin Greaney's Historic Liverpool website.
