A walking tour around the former banking sector of Liverpool was conducted in collaboration with Louise Purbrick The walking tour followed the points of interest highlighted on a map created during the time at the Bluecoat. The tour stopped at Derby Square, Albion House, Martins Bank, and finally, the Royal Exchange, to reveal the forgotten links between Liverpool and Latin America in the nineteenth century. One particular highlight of this tour was the mosaic on the floor of the entrance to Albion House, laid by the Pacific Steam Navigation Co., which provided crucial commercial links between Europe and South America in the late 19th century.
