SIR WILLIAM BROWN:
THE MAN WHO MADE LIVERPOOL?
An illustrated talk by David Hearn
on Sunday 2nd February at 2.30 p.m. in
Gateacre Chapel, Gateacre Brow L25 3PB
To Liverpool residents and visitors alike, the name William Brown is a familiar one - being the name of the street in which the World Museum and Central Library are situated. David Hearn is a former banker and management consultant who went on to study History at Liverpool John Moores University and at the University of Liverpool. His curiosity about the name of the street led him to research the story of a highly influential and important man, who could lay claim to being "the man who made Liverpool".
David now runs a small publishing and heritage company with his older son, Richard - and on Twitter they are 'The Dusty Teapot'. He will be bringing with him a selection of books to offer for sale at the meeting.
ALL WELCOME - Admission free - Donations invited
