Book

I have undertaken this History of Royal Liver Friendly Society by concentrating on key and core chronological periods in the overall growth and development of the Society.

These key time periods, which then form the building blocks of the Chapters in the various Volumes of Royal Liver’s history, can be broken down into the following:-

Part I – Dignity in Poverty – 1850 – 1886

Part II – A New Beginning – Royal Liver – The People’s Society – 1887 – 1900

Part III – Before and Between the Wars – 1900 – 1933

Part IV – Out of the Darkness – 1933 – 1954

Part V – The Urgent Need for Change – 1954 – 1975

Part VI – Further Change and increased Modernisation – 1976 – 1990

Part VII – The years leading to Incorporation – 1990 – 1994

Part VIII – The Post-Incorporation Years – “The Royal Liver Group~” – 1994 – 2011

In order to make the narrative more manageable and digestible, I shall be releasing the detailed History of Royal Liver Friendly Society in three or four volumes each dealing broadly with spans of 50 years or so:-

1850 – 1900

1900 – 1950

1850 – 2000

2000 – 2011

The initial blogs and posts which will form the basis of this Website will deal in the main with the first 50 years of Royal Liver’s existence – 1850 – 1900. Later posts will deal with Royal Liver’s ongoing development into the 1900s and in the early part of the new millennium (2000 -2011).
