THE CLAYTON LECTURE
Wednesday, 2 June 2010, 7.00pm
The Port of Liverpool
Dr Adrian Jarvis
University of Liverpool
A look at the development of what became Britain's biggest port and at why, along with many other ports, it was never able to repay the cost of its construction. Dr Jarvis will also discuss the costs and charges and the on-going acrimony they caused: how much was this a major reason for the formation of the Manchester Ship Canal Company?Royal Northern College of Music, Booth Street West, Manchester
