About this event

Community • Heritage

From the late 19th century, seamen from China, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Malaysia passed through and settled in Liverpool, shaping the history of the city. While many of the places they knew no longer exist, we can find traces of their presence in photographs and archival documents. Join researcher Emily Beswick for a walking tour rediscovering the hidden history of these diaspora communities.

Practical info

The tour starts at Cleveland Square, L1 (opposite John Lewis car park) and will last around 2 hours.

The route is 1.3 miles, mostly flat but with an uphill section from Upper Duke Street (by the Chinese Arch) to the Anglican Cathedral.

Please pay what you can afford, ticket options are either £5 or free.

About me
