In 2021 Liverpool Irish Festival secured funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to begin work on regenerating the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail and today they have announced the the release of their new #LiverpoolIrishFamineTrail print-at-home map.
The Liverpool Irish Famine Trail was originally researched and built by Liverpool’s Great Hunger Commemoration Committee in the late 1990s. Like many things from the late 90s, some of the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail sites have seen better days. Given the advances we have made in the last 25+ years -including internet connectivity, accessibility recognition and mapping systems- it is fair to say the Trail benefits from a refresh.
