Contemporary and Georgian architecture mix well on Clarence Street as we look toward Brownlow Hill. The taller building to the left is Clarence Street campus of the City of Liverpool College (formerly Liverpool Community). Opposite is the Redmonds Building which forms a part of the Liverpool John Moores family.
graduation at the cathedral, great ceremony of tradition and pomp. love photographing the cathedral but one problem in there is the light for photographing people is a nasty yellow, even the D3 struggled to get it right great test of using all the cameras capabilities.
Looking up a side road off Smithdown in an area which is predominantly of Student occupancy. Students are attracted to this area due to the high frequency bus routes running upto the top of Hope Street where LJMU and UoL have campuses. It is also pretty easy to get down to Liverpool Hope in Childwall from here too.
The John Foster Building, a part of Liverpool John Moores University, stands on the corner of Hope Street and Mount Pleasant. This part of the city has had a long tradition of being sites of educational establishments in the City. Behind where we are stood is the old Medical Institute building. In the distance, is the Wellington Rooms. Originally, I thought this was another seat of learning. However, it was originally built as an Assembly Rooms. Latterly, it was known as the "Irish Centre" boasting one of the best pints of Guinness in the city. For many years, the building has stood empty while the world around it changed.
Another view of a construction site on Islington, this site was formerly occupied by a row of shops and a surface car park with Clifford Street dividing the site. The black building is the LJMU tower; the university emptied out of the building in 2016 and centralised HR operations in new offices at Liverpool Exchange on Tithebarn Street. It's unknown what will happen to the tower you see here.

The Liverpool Institute High School for Boys was an all-boys grammar school in Liverpool. The school had its origins in 1825 but occupied different premises while the money was found to build a dedicated building on Mount Street. The Institute was first known as the Liverpool Mechanics' School of Arts. In 1832 the name was shortened to the Liverpool Mechanics' Institution. In 1905 the Liverpool City Council took over the management of the secondary schools when the Liverpool Institute Board of Governors presented the school and assets to the City. From then until its closure in 1985, the school was formally known as The Liverpool Institute High School for Boys or more familiarly as The Institute or the Inny to its pupils. Under Pail McCartney's sponsorship and with his financial assistance, the building was rebuilt entirely behind its old facade, preserving only the entrance corridor and school hall, and re-opened in 1996 under the name of its new occupants, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA). This all-new institute is currently affiliated with LJMU.
On 24th November students and school children in Liverpool walked out of classes as part of a national day of action. They marched to the town hall and then stopped traffic at several spots around the city.
The corner of Hatton Gardens and Great Crosshall Street used to be marked by overgrown industrial units. Now, there are more student flats going up, adding two more cranes temporarily to the skyline of the city. This area has long been established as one for students with the Marybone flats to the left being a good few years old now. Off the image to the left is also one of LJMU's Library's (The Avril Robarts)...somewhere where I burned the midnight oil on many an occasion back in the day!
I arrived early.

Rainwater heads dated 1764 show the age of this grand house in Huyton which was part of the C F Mott campus until LJMU closed it. It stands forlorn in the middle of a modern business park now... although I believe there are plans to convert it into a hotel. It was once owned by the Pilkington family and I was always under the impression it had been given to the City of Liverpool for educational use...
Liverpool Biennial's Marketing team heard 3rd year Graphic Design and Illustration students from LJMU present their ideas on how to develop the Creative & Marketing for Liverpool Biennial 2012.
The project presents students with the opportunity to understand how Liverpool Biennial has managed campaigns in 2008 and 2010 but above all, the opportunity to contribute to the life of an innovative marketing campaign with a global reach.

Mount street Liverpool. Founded in 1825
The Liverpool Institute High School for Boys was an all-boys grammar school in the city of Liverpool.
The school had its origins in 1825 but occupied different premises while the money was found to build a dedicated building on Mount Street. The Institute was first known as the Liverpool Mechanics' School of Arts. In 1832 the name was shortened to the Liverpool Mechanics' Institution. The facade of the listed building, the entrance hall and modified school hall remain after substantial internal reconstruction was completed in the early 1990s.
Its initial primary purpose as a Mechanics' Institute (one of many established about this time throughout the country) was to provide educational opportunities, mainly through evening classes, for working men. Lectures for the general public were also provided of wide interest covering topics ranging from Arctic exploration to Shakespeare and philosophy. Luminaries like Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope and Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered talks and readings in the main lecture hall (now the architecturally restructured Sir Paul McCartney Auditorium of LIPA).
By 1840 the Institution offered evening classes, lectures, a library and a boys' lower and upper school. By the 1850s a formal art school was evolving from the evening classes and in 1856 this diversity was recognised by another name change – The Liverpool Institute and School of Arts.
A girl's school was founded & opened in 1844 under the name Liverpool Institute High School for Girls. It was housed in a merchant's mansion across the street from the boys' school in Blackburne House provided by the generosity of Mr. George Holt and which was later (1872) donated to the school by his family in his memory. The school was one of the first which was open to the public in the country established exclusively for the education of girls.
In 1905 the Liverpool City Council took over the management of the secondary schools when the LI Board of Governors presented the school and assets to the City. From then until its closure in 1985, the school was formally known as The Liverpool Institute High School for Boys or more familiarly as The Institute or The Inny to its pupils.
It was an English grammar school for boys ages 11 to 18 with an excellent academic reputation built up over more than a century. Its list of scholarships and places at Oxford University and Cambridge University runs to some 300 names – in addition to distinctions gained at the University of Liverpool and at many other prominent British universities. The school was a true measure of Liverpool's intellectual capital and its old boys could and can be found in later life in many fields of professional distinction including the law, the Church, armed forces, politics, academia, government and colonial administration as well as in trade and commerce.
In 1985 the school was closed by Liverpool Council after two decades of contention, political dispute and very little upkeep of the building fabric.
After closure of the Liverpool Institute for Boys, the building stood empty and neglected, the roof leaking and the walls crumbling. In 1987 it was announced that the LI Trust (under control of Liverpool Council's Education Department) would grant use of the building and site to a new educational establishment. Paul McCartney had returned to his old school when with Wings he had played a concert there in 1979. After the school's closure in 1985, McCartney returned one night to reminisce about his school days
The building was rebuilt (entirely in parts) behind its old facade and re-opened in 1996 under the name of its new occupants, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA). This all-new institute is currently affiliated with LJMU and is no longer a Liverpool secondary school.

Today was the Liverpool Design Symposium Talk with Michael Wolff co - founder of Wolff Olins.
It is always inspirational and such a honour to see design heavyweights talk about their views on design.
- You can never be too Inquisitive
- Question, why are you thinking this?
- what are you feeling?
It reminded me of when I went to see a clairvoyant in Blackpool during my time at uni. She told me things I already knew (she also told me a lot of make believe) but I walked away not thinking I had been conned but remembering the little things I tend to forget. Tell your parents you love them, don't let them assume. Think how your words will effect people, don't act in haste. Life happens so let it happen, don't wish the time away. And yes anyone can tell me these things, but you don't always notice the everyday.
It was being told wise words by someone with more life experience then me, whose words sink in and have an effect.
