Liverpool's Chinese community

[Ah-Ying]

One of Liverpool's oldest none British communties is that of the Chinese. The same people who gave us the Blue Funnel Line and the HKSB, John & Alfred Holt, John Swire, respectively, were also responsible for introducing the Chinese to Liverpool.

The history of L'pool's Chinese community is facinating. I'd like to read up on it a bit more but I've never found any books about it.
I've got so many books about L'pool, but there doesn't seem to be much about China Town. I've seen a few pictures here and there, but I'd like to read and see more about Liverpool born Chinese, and their forefathers too.

Now you would be wanting a book called Chinese Liverpudlians, Lindylou. Written by Maria Lin Wong and sub titled A history of the Chinese Community in Liverpool.

It is available on ebay as well for a fair price.

Chinese Liverpudlians.

There is a page on the History of Chinatown on the Liverpool Chinatown Business Association website.

I'm interested in researching the history of a particular building in Chinatown. It's on Nelson Street. Would my best bet be going up to Fourth Floor of Central Library, or is there a better approach?

I'm currently involved in a project called Chinese Language & Cultural Orientation. It's a short video production in a dvd format that will promote key Liverpool sites to Chinese communities outside of Liverpool. It will be in Mandarin and Cantonese with English subtitles
