This exhibition documents Liverpool’s role in the foundation of the Global Irish Famine Way and reveals how Liverpool came to be involved. ❤️??
The first section briefly tells the story of The Walk of the Bronze Shoes, whilst the second considers the resilience of Liverpool’s people through the research and expressions of contemporary participants. Featuring collaborative community artworks — led by local artists
Lydia O’Hara Tadhg Devlin Pam Sullivan, and Nicola McGovern.
The works respond to the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail’s plaque sites, telling rich stories with how people connect with the history, their heritage and how what happened then maintains a connection with what is happening in our world today.
Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, this exhibition includes art works, artefacts and memories. Everything you see was created in 2024, though items may have roots and references going back through the generations.

The Docklands Trail is a volunteer led organisation that have loaned us their spaces to show this work in partnership with them. We are very grateful. Our known opening times will be:
10am-1pm, on Wed and Sun until closing date.
This exhibit takes place in a shed and a container. This means there is a step to get into each space and they are not large spaces. We will do all we can to accommodate those with walkers or mobility aids, but it is worth understanding the limitations before setting out. There will be volunteers on hand to assist. Please do call for them, should you require assistance.
