Hello everyone,
Here are some travel details for next week's conference.See
also a very useful map at
http://www.merseyside.org.uk/visit/shortbreaks.html
If you are arriving by train and coming straight to the
University or going first to the Feathers Hotel, you can
walk up Mount Pleasant next to the Adelphi Hotel- about a
10-15 minute walk uphill, or get a taxi from the station.
If you walk you will pass the Feathers Hotel on the left
just before the Metropolitan Cathedral. Senate House is
further up on the right on Oxford Street, just past
Abercromby Square. The Senate Room is accessible through
the main front entrance.
If you are arriving by plane you can get a bus to the city
centre (the 80, I think)or a taxi. If you get the bus you
should get off at the Philharmonic Hall (23 on the map
mentioned above) at the junction of Hardman Street and Hope
Street. Cross the road and turn down Hope Street to the
right- a short walk will then bring you onto Mount Pleasant
opposite the Metropolitan Cathedral. You will see the
Feathers Hotel across the road to your left and the
Everyman Theatre on your right. A right turn onto Oxford
Street will bring you to Senate House.
If you are staying at the Campanile, Albert Dock it would
be best to get a taxi from the airport or station to the
hotel. It is about 8 miles, check the approx price with the
cab driver at the airport. It is quite easy to get a cab
from the Albert Dock up to the University
A word of warning: sometimes the cab drivers get confused
between us and Liverpool John Moores University which is in
the same area so make sure you say 'University of
Liverpool' and not just 'the university' if you get a cab.
If anyone is planning to drive to the conference please
e-mail me directly as I will have to get parking permit
sorted out. I will also try to give directions.
Hope this all makes sense, if not, get in touch and I'll
get back to you.
See you all on the 12th,
Carol
