Lowry described Liverpool as that 'terrible city whose main street is the ocean', and for the 2012 Lounge Colin Dilnot led another city centre walk, Lowry's Many-voiced Mersey. Starting at the Bluecoat, the walk visited resonant sites that appear in Lowry's writing including the Mersey, the writer's ‘risk-laden escape route from lunacy into uncertainty’. The route - seen in these images - took in College Lane/Paradise Street/Lord Street/Derby Square/Castle Street/Dale Street/Hackins Hey/Tithebarn Street/Chapel Street/Old Hall Street/Union Street/Lancelot Hey/Chapel Street/St Nicholas Place/Pier Head/Albert Dock/Chavasse Park, before returning to the arts centre.
