Walking from Pillar to Post in Liverpool

We will look at post boxes & telephone boxes as we meander our way down from the Georgian quarter to the waterfront and back up to Lime Street/St George’s Hall Plateau. Look out for a Liverpool Special, learn about the freedom the introduction of the post box offered, the involvement of writer Anthony Trollope & the Cunard liners plus how a chance encounter in the Lake District formed the idea for the postal system in the UK.

Please arrive by 10:45 am to check in with your Blue Badge Guide.

Meet by the Postbox at the Junction of Canning Street and Bedford Street South – opposite the Deutsche Kirche Liverpool (L7 7BX)

Getting There

We suggest using public transport - about 25 minutes’ walk from Liverpool Central/Lime Street railway stations to the start point but the tour ends at back at Lime Street.

From the city centre Bus Nos 75 and 86 take you closest

Car parking best at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral about 5 mins from start point.
