Heritage Open Day Tours with Bryan Biggs and Michelle Girvan

18 September 2022

Bryan Biggs and Michelle Girvan led tours, revealing the fascinating story of the Bluecoat building’s origins as a charity school.

On Sun 18 Sep 2022, we hosted detailed and fascinating tours from Bluecoat Director of Cultural Legacies Bryan Biggs and Michelle Girvan, whose current PhD research includes a focus on the lives of the children at the Blue Coat School in the eighteenth century.

Echoes and Origins

This programme is part of Echoes and Origins, the Bluecoat’s heritage participation project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It explores the intersection of two historical narratives, the building’s looked after children and Liverpool’s colonial legacies, and their contemporary echoes.
