Re: Proposed History Trip 
Introduction
This is a proposal for a one-day history study trip in 
Liverpool.
Options
Looking at the options in the area, two attractions 
come to mind for an educational trip focusing on 
history: the Maritime Museum and Speke Hall. 
The first option, the Maritime Museum tells the 
story of Liverpool as a port. It also documents 
world history through its focus on the growth of 
international trade (including the slave trade) and 
changes in maritime technology. It would be very 
easy to create worksheets for individual groups, 
who could then make presentations to the class in a 
subsequent lesson. 
The museum is easily accessible by local buses.
The alternative, Speke Hall, provides a very well-
preserved snapshot of what life was like in the 
16
th
century. This would be a very useful trip for 
our students, as they study this period of history. 
Students would be able to study individual aspects 
of Tudor life (cooking, religion, transport) based on 
exhibits in the house. The Hall’s education section 
also gives excellent talks.
Unfortunately, the house is only accessible by coach, 
which would add extra expense.
Recommendation
In my opinion, the most interesting option is the 
Maritime Museum. The exhibits have a clear focus, 
but at the same time cover in a lot of different 
aspects of history: social, economic and cultural. The 
Maritime Museum can also easily accommodate big 
groups of students and has better rates for groups, 
making it an ideal choice. It is also more easily 
accessible by local transport.
