Several high-profile initiatives are also on the horizon.

The heritage team hopes Grosvenor's redevelopment of the Paradise Street area will lead to a visitor centre on the site of the Old Dock - birthplace of modern Liverpool.

There are also ambitions for the Civic Trust's Heritage Open Days, which have gone from strength to strength since they were launched nationwide in 1994.

The open days run over a weekend, but there are plans to expand the annual event in Liverpool to two weeks in 2006 and a month in 2007.

The Culture Company is also working with its official partner, United Utilities, to restore old drinking fountains, of which in the late 19th century there were dozens across the city.

Amazing historical legacy

ENGLISH Heritage's commitment to Capital of Culture includes funding a post in the Culture Company's heritage team.

The body's connection with culture year stretches back to when Liverpool was one of a number of contenders for the title.

Henry Owen-John, regional head of the heritage body, said: "One of the many reasons Liverpool's bid was successful was a recognition of the outstanding historical legacy of the city. It's an amazing package."
