Bold Street, Liverpool, began life as a Georgian residential street. Within a short time, however, it had been transformed into 'the Bond Street of the north': wholly devoted to business, renowned in particular for its clothing outlets. Since then, Bold Street has changed with the times, and today it is once again a lively, bustling street: one of the few in the centre of Liverpool to retain a character of its own. Roger Hull will talk about the economic and social history of Bold Street over the past 200 years.
