Liverpool Daily Post & Mercury: Wednesday January 23, 1924 [30min]

Peter Snow returns with a series that brings alive stories found in individual newspapers from history. Legendary trades union leader and one-time Liverpool docker Jack Jones uses the newspaper to prompt memories of the thriving port in the early 1920s. Tony Benn and Roy Hattersley bring alive the story of the coming-to-power of the first Labour government under Ramsay MacDonald. Plus the tale behind the triumph of the first Mersey road tunnel, and royal celebrations as Liverpool's massive new Anglican Cathedral is consecrated.
