Welcome dear listeners to the Liverpool Cholera audio tour, a microcosmic deep dive into hidden water histories. Our sonic journey is composed of four acts, each rooted and routed through the streets of Liverpool. If you’d like to follow the tour along at your own pace, starting locations are provided at the beginning of each act, starting from St James Garden at the Anglican Cathedral and ending at the Granby Winter Gardens. We cover about 1 mile, and it will take around 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. Enjoy!

We will start amongst the grave markers of the Anglican Cathedral. Please enter the gardens from the main gate, walk through the tunnel, then turn right till you come to the tombstones with orphans names - about a 2 minute stroll.

Dear lovely humans, there’s something cholera would like you to know. A few of us from Liverpool and Margate have been spending a lot of time with Cholera and E. coli over the past year, and you know - they are not as bad as you might think. In fact, they feel they’ve gotten the short shrift when it comes to public perception of bacteria in our waterways.

Would you like to know more? Can you look past the diarrhoea, trying walking with their flagella?

Join us for a four episode tour of Liverpool through the receptor proteins of Cholera, available wherever you got your podcasts.
