'pool background
‘pool works with communities looking
at the ecology and social dynamics of their spaces using walks,
picnics, celebrations, conferrings and positive documentation, in the
belief that creative fun and laughter help to solve problems.
‘pool
project is actively creating a legacy for the city that has forgotten
its namesake. We aim to explore, reveal and celebrate the origins of
the city of Liverpool and in so doing contemplate and influence the
city’s destiny.
Liverpool’s namesake, the tidal pool, is
now an invisible changing of tidal water levels underground from the
Strand up to Paradise Street and Whitechapel.
The boats used to tie up where the Queens Tunnel now takes us under the Mersey.
Manchester
Street and Dale Street follow the shape of the bay made by the meeting
of the salt water and the sweet stream, down what is now William Brown
Street.
The city is committed in the world heritage
management plan to a project to remember the tidal pool. ‘pool project
gives a culturally unique identity to Liverpool’s historic core.
