Local history speaker David Casement will explore the life and work of Thomas Brassey (1805 – 1870). Educated at the King’s School, Chester, Brassey moved to Birkenhead, becoming Storeton Quarry Manager, a local benefactor and world railway builder – a man who David Casement will argue is an unsung hero.
The Liverpool Regional group of the Victorian Society raises awareness of the Victorian architectural heritage of all of Merseyside and further into Cheshire and South-West Lancashire through events including visits and talks. To join this group, please email: [email protected]
