So the worlds your lobster Tony, the anniversary of the transport strike of 1911 is coming up, could concentrate on the effects of that on Merseyside and Wirral.
One that will have Helles ears pricked would be Grave Exhumation in 1919 following WW1. Lets hope your successful with your appeal.

Considering the recent loss of Liscard Hall in Central Park, how's about re-assessing the life of John Tobin?

Links with Liverpool and the slave trade/palm oil industry. Was also a former Lord Mayor. Links with Wallasey (Liscard Hall/St.John's Church, and Egremont), as well as the development of Wallasey Pool.

If it's got legs, go run with it!

Sorry... I should have said Sir John Tobin. He was knighted after all. smack

You could call it something along the lines of 'Sir John Tobin - Saint or Sinner?'.

The fact that such a study would involve both local and international issues would also give it more depth.

Failing that, but still using Liscard Hall as a case-study you could write a dissertation on the loss of Wirral's built heritage. Other threads on Wikihistory often discuss this issue. You wouldn't have to restrict yourself to just New Brighton or Wallasey either, as you could draw on examples from all over Wirral.

i am now doing an independant study of:

Liverpool, Growth and Change throughout the Industrial Revolution 1700 - 1850
Rural to Urban Liverpool during the Industrial Revolution, changes that occurred such as economics, industrial production and output, transport options, class structure and poverty, Irish strain, competition with other industrial cities and economic links to Africa and America (Cotton and Sugar).

I bet that's a bit frustrating. I think you were trying to do something new and you've been pushed into doing stuff that's been done before - makes it a lot harder to get uniqueness and personal into your dissertation.
