Local historian Greg Quiery leads a heritage walk through Liverpool and out to Scotland Road, formerly a very Irish location.
About this Event

This 2-hour walk through the former heartland of Liverpool’s Irish community considers schools, statues and graveyards.

It explores what remains of the area’s rich heritage, rousing some old ghosts along the way.

Led by historian Greg Quiery, this walk explores the dense history of a world-famous district. Featuring stories of heroic men and women; footballers and rock stars; two hidden statues; a graveyard and the legends of ‘Dandy Pat’ and James Carling. The walk ends at St Anthony’s Church, a short bus ride from town.

Those interested in this walk, may also be interested in the in-person South Liverpool walk (see event listing and book early to avoid disappointment) or the self-guided Liverpool Irish Famine Trail liverpoolirishfaminetrail.com, accompanied by the Festival’s books Revive and Reveal, available online at liverpoolirishfestival.com/shop.

This in an outdoor walk in October; please be weather prepared, comfortable and hydrated.

Ticket holders should join Greg outside Liverpool Central Library ready for the walk start time.
