The Historic Docks of Liverpool
Liverpool had the first commercial wet dock in the world, and the docks there grew to be one of the most important docks in the world. This talk looks at why and how the docks developed here, and at the parallel development of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Liverpool.
Bill Froggatt is a heritage adviser in the Canal & River Trust North West Region Heritage and Environment team and has worked for the Trust for almost six years.

This was fantastic. Thanks so much
I was raised in Bootle as a child the canal was an integral part of my childhood.. My school was alongside the canal and the workshop I served my apprenticeship was at another location also on the canal bank. Later in the year I hope to revisit Bootle and walk the tow path from Millers bridge into Liverpool. This was a really informative presentation many thanks to all concerned.

Do you remember the opening sequence to Z cars? That was the Lift Bridge, close to the Sausage factory on the canal
Needed to mention tobacco warehouse as its a magnificent building which links into the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Maybe for a later episode
