The Historic Environment of Liverpool Project (HELP)

Front cover of the recent English Heritage publication on Liverpool’s historic warehouses, showing rum storage in Clarence Warehouses This project is a partnership between English Heritage, Liverpool City Council and other key stakeholders. Our role is to help provide an overview of the role of the city’s historic environment in the rapid regeneration which has followed many decades of stagnation.  We are examining those aspects which best reflect Liverpool’s history, economy and social make up and give the city its unique qualities.  This work will inform regeneration and conservation policies in the city.  A range of popular publications designed to raise awareness of the special character of the city and to address conservation issues is also planned. The first book in the series, Storehouses of Empire: Liverpool’s Historic Warehouses by Colum Giles and Bob Hawkins was launched in November 2004.
