In addition to teaching Local History in evening classes at the University of Liverpool Centre for Continuing Education, I also lecture to Societies and Conferences when invited. All lectures are illustrated either with slides or powerpoint. I have provided a list below of some of the talks I can give with a link to supporting material to give an idea of content.
If there is another topic you are looking for, please contact me as I may still be able to help (or redirect you to someone who can).
Fees and expenses are negotiable and not extortionate!
