At the top of one of Liverpool's most enduring landmarks, a former hospitality manager turned amateur historian is quietly reweaving the city's memory. Chris Devaney has spent years gathering archival fragments and personal testimonies to animate the western clock tower of the Liver Building as a living exhibition — one that traces Liverpool's long arc of loss and renewal. In doing so, he reminds us that the truest history is never housed in documents alone, but in the stories people carry with them when they finally come home.
