As one of the most important and historical streets in Liverpool, Bold Street has a vast and rich story to tell. Its future looks uncertain as the Grosvenor project is drawing business to the other side of the city, suggesting its has passed its peak; deep in contrast with its past when Bold Street was regarded as the ‘Bond Street of the North’ notorious for its wealthy clientele.
In the light of regeneration elsewhere in Liverpool, Bold Street is getting its own blog, mobilising its community and reforming itself online.
The Bold Street Project is a collaborative exhibition about Bold Street launching in the Media Lounge at FACT June 30th 2007. The exhiition will contian a series of video footage, films and photographs from the street; from today and from its culturally diverse history.
We are creating our own images but also wish to include images and photographs taken by Bold Street residents, workers and passers by, by local artists, and anyone who wants to create or share their images of the street.
This Flickr Group is for anything Bold Street: history, parties, art, culture, people, fashions, shops, purchases, architecture.
If you would like to include your images in the Bold Street exhibition at FACT, please post them here.
