Liverpool, England -ARRIVAL

We arrived at the train stain and took our “stroll” to the cruise port. On the way we walked through the city and got a little preview for our tour the next day. For the last part of walk we got to see St John’s Garden.

Located near the city's first "gay quarter" around Queen Square, this Garden has historically been a safe place for the gay community a lot of the area was demolished to make way for the large St. John's Shopping Center and the Stanley Street area then became the focal point for the community, developing into the current "Pride Quarter". St. John's Gardens, however, remains a location with historical significance for the LGBTQ+ as we saw from the monuments and plaques that remain.

St John's Gardens is an open space part of the William Brown Street conservation area, a Cultural Quarter with a library, World Museum art gallery, the Stable Fountain, St. George’s Hall and many Memorials.En savoir plus
