Hugh Gault explores the history of everyday lives in two contrasting parts of Liverpool at the start of the twentieth century: Blackstock Street in Vauxhall and Courtenay Road in Crosby. The two streets were only six miles apart but might have been different worlds.
Based on his book 1900 Liverpool Lives, he tells the stories of the two streets and some of the people who lived and worked there. Yet there were similarities as well, one of the most striking being the importance of strong women. He will also be talking about the research journey that led him to choose these streets.
