The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
|
195
This piece shows the clock tower at the Blue Coat School at its
current home in Wavertree. The tower is a later addition to the
main buildings, which were completed in 1906, and are in the late
English Renaissance style.
The name ‘Blue Coat’ refers to the charity uniform of blue Tudor
frock coats, yellow stockings and white bands, a uniform that was
worn by the children of the school until 1948.
“
This piece was my second Lambanana after the ‘Baa-nitez’ piece.
This was not so harrowing, did not fully resemble the original
(
which was located on the shore road at Ainsdale), but I was given
wonderful guidance, giving the finished picture texture.”
