The Gateacre Hotel Time Capsule

[hooper]

Hello folks, this is my first post so I'd better introduce myself.....I'm Hooper,living in Gateacre,resident here for about 17 years

I'm a keen historian and I'm currently working on local history projects in conjunction with the Liverpool Capital of Culture 08 celebrations

I'm hoping this is going to be a useful place to visit to hear stories and to get information

Anyway, my first question is, does anybody know anything about the time capsule discovered in the foundations of the Gateacre Hotel?

I missed all this for some reason when it was in the news, and when there was a meeting held in the Gateacre Chapel Hall, I only found about it the day after!

So not much luck eh?

This is where I'm hoping you may be able to help

Any information would be gratefully received and I thank you in anticipation

Luck is definitely not going your way, but just remember - there is no better place to ask than the gateacre forums!

Hi Hooper,
Try this web address, there are 9 pages of info & photos about the time capsule!

www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool/content/image_galleries/timecapsule_gallery.shtml

P.S. I'll post some more old memories from the 50's & '60's when I've dusted off my own mental time capsule!

Cheers,
Ken

Hey, thanks Ken, that is a great website and thanks for letting me know about it (I wasn't sure if anyone would respond here so it's very much appreciated)

Since my last post here earlier this year I've been developing a new website which provides a virtual tour of the city. It's by no means finished (in fact it'll always be updated and built upon) and if you fancy taking a look go here www.liverpooltour.co.uk
