The Light of Other Days
John Hussey
Synopsis
John Hussey examines the motley legions of philanthropists and eccentrics, rogues and chancers, savants and merchants, blackguards and bankrupts, the dedicated, the feckless, the trustworthy and the devious who have at various times left their mark on the city of Liverpool and its fascinating history.
The book begins where Liverpool itself began – on the wterfront. It then moves outward to the city centre and beyond, just as the city itself expanded, and after mandering along various byeways, it lingers in Liverpool 7, before moving out into the suburbs. Topics include Liverpool’s role in the slave trade, the city’s wartime experiences and the history behind Liverpool’s impressive architecture.
