between Liverpool FC and Nottingham Forest FC. Football as we know it today was born out of the Hillsborough disaster as this event came to change the face and experience of watching football in England, as well as in Europe. Although much controversy has evolved about the true cause of the catastrophe, the blame for the disaster has since fallen on Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield, who was in
introduction....Bill Meyers needs all the introduction he can get. He could be described as charming, intelligent, witty...and perhaps one day he will be. Bill was born in October 1970. The Beatles had split up, Maggie May by Rod Stewart was no.1 and Liverpool Football Club, under Bill Shankly, was about to embark on a two decade journey of domestic a...
P is for Peacock as we all know. C is for color, well at least for most of the peacocks with the exception of one. His name was Percy and this is his story. Percy was a peacock who was unlike any other. No it wasn’t just his gray and black feathers. Oh no it was that he spent all his time in a cave. Yes like a bear in a cave; for Percy knew if any of the other peacocks in the forest saw him he would be made fun of or worse. Percy spent his time gathering food and talking to his only friend the
domestic legislation and will further analyse the access to justice doctrine as regards to the Hillsborough case. In April 1989, ninety-six persons including men, women and children died in a serious crush during an FA cup semi- final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest that was held in Hillsborough stadium, Sheffield. In the instantaneous aftermath there was a quick rush to inquire the circumstances and cause of the crush. Lord Justice Taylor was appointed by the government to carry out a
The imposing iron gates standing between the West Derby streets and the Melwood training complex might have shifted some 500 yards or so off Melwood Avenue ??? and onto ?????? since the last time Liverpool contemplated a trip to a European Cup Final but outside the scenes are exactly the same. Five or six kids who don't look old enough to remember a time before foreign managers at Anfield stand on tiptoes on the wall of the house opposite the entrance to the most famous training ground in English
mentioned, he is described as “A dirty, ragged, black-haired child, big enough both to walk and talk…” [Wuthering Heights, Chapter 4] and is referred to as “It.” Mr. Earnshaw claimed to have found him starving, homeless, and abandoned on his trip to Liverpool. This sounds incredulous to say the least, considering that Mr. Earnshaw had made the trip on several other occasions without bringing back any ‘surprises’, and that the cities of London at the time were practically crawling with Orphans. While it
from Lancastershire mines to Liverpool. The Duke of Bridgewater built a canal to get coal from his colliery in Worsley to Manchester, a few km away. He employed an engineer (James Brindley) to do so. The Duke made a profit of £100,000 a year. James Brindleys most famouse canal was the Grand Trunk canal, it links the river Trent to the river mersy and runs through potteries, it was finished in 1777.

taken directly from Willy Russell's personal experience of teaching in a Liverpool comprehensive school in 1974. Not only does Willy Russell's experience stem from his time in teaching but also from being a pupil at two Liverpool comprehensive schools, leaving at 15 with no qualifications. This gives him a good understanding of situations described in the play from the point of view of both children and teachers. Liverpool at that time had a large working class population and a lot of poverty
mates for three pounds. George tried to teach himself to play, but his progresswas slow. He sometimes stayed up all night playing until his fingers bled. George attended Dovendale Primary School, two forms behind John Lennon, and then he attended Liverpool Institute, one form behind Paul McCartney. George and Paul took the same bus to school, and soon found they had music and guitars in common. George and his brother Peter had formed a Skiffle band, and because they were so young, they had to sneak

Manchester and Liverpool were to be the central foundation of Samuel Greg’s point of distribution and importation.

The aim of this essay is to analyse the basic features of the Scouse dialect which is part of English accents and dialects which is used in Liverpool. Scouse (RP: /ˈskaʊs/; scouse: /ˈsxɑːʊs/) is an accent and non-standard speech of English found primarily in the Metropolitan county of Merseyside, and closely related to the town of Liverpool. The accent is known to be as far reaching as Flintshire in Wales, Runcorn in Cheshire and Skelmersdale in Lancastrian. The scouse accent is very distinctive
Liverpool has been referred to as the core city of Merseyside conurbation in the north west of England. In this essay I will consider the effect of local and global interactions that have produced this image of the city and how the city has come to be the place that we see today. I will explore the declines and booms of the city's economy and citizen’s welfare and feelings. Liverpool is unlike other UK cities, not only does it have a local and national image, it also has global recognition. It is
The practical piece that I performed on 16th December ‘04 was a play written by Willy Russel called ‘Stags and Hens’. It was written in 1978 and is set on a hen/stag night in Liverpool for what was at that time, the present - reading the play, however, and comparing it with the portrayal of present day Liverpool I noticed no obvious changes. Another play that I have studied is ‘Blue Remembered Hills’ by Dennis Potter. This play was written in and is set in the heart of Devon in WW2 year

Both of them looked absolutely petrified. He went on to read “You will be provided a house to share in Portland, Oregon. All expenses already paid for. Neither of you are to look for work and are to keep
The play that I am writing about is called ‘Our Day Out’ and it was written by Willy Russell. The main theme of the play is to tell the reader what life was like for people (mainly children) in Liverpool in the 1970s and what their education was like. During the 1970s 100 000 jobs were lost in Liverpool because the docks had been closed and all of the factories were closing down. The unemployment went up, the streets got dirty, there was no money in education and the only thing that the kids could
Blood Brothers The class was divided into 3 groups of four for this unit. In my group, I had Chris Adelaide, Jimmy Gevaux and Micky Collins. We were supposed to encrypt a piece of the Blood Brothers, to act on.
