Explore the ghostly past of the Original Seven Streets of Liverpool ending in the Oldest Morgue in the City
Where it all began...
Tales of hulking castles and dank airless dungeons, marble facades and sanctuary stones. Behold the lofty banking halls and chilling corridors of power, the regal opulence of the Town Hall and the crooked lamp lit alley-ways. Witness our city’s darkest and less well known hidden avenues in the now bustling commercial district…
Ending the immersive tour experience in the oldest morgue in the city, nestled quietly within a medieval garden, hidden beneath the Gothic spire of a floating chapel, entered through a trapdoor- named by Herman Melville himself… ‘The Liverpool Dead House’.
Meeting point
The Queen Victoria Monument, Derby Square, City Centre, Liverpool, Merseyside
