A FILM tracking Liverpool through the last century
will be shown on the city centre Big Screen over the next two weeks.
Archive footage of the city's changing landscape through the Blitz, post-war
years and 1960s music scene has been examined by researchers at Liverpool university.
The City in Film team worked with independent film maker Angus
Tilston to produce the 12-minute footage.
It portrays a journey through time from Liverpool city centre in 1900 to the present day and will be shown
on the BBC screen in Clayton Square five times a day for the fortnight.
The project explores the relationship between the city's architecture and
the moving image, and aims to create an online database of Liverpool films for cinema goers, producers and researchers.
Films located so far include
footage of the overhead railway, and St Georges Plateau in 1897.
Researchers are keen to get public reaction to the film and see if anyone recognises
people featured in the footage.
They are also encouraging people to come forward with any footage they may have.
