<br/><br/> This book tells the fascinating story of Bluecoat's transformation from 18th century charity school to Britain's first arts centre a century ago. Hosting music, visual art, performance and literature, it is described as where 'village hall meets the avant-garde', a unique venue at the heart of Liverpool's cultural life.
