About this audio guide
This guide to RIBA North on Liverpool's Mann Island starts in the spring of two thousand seven, with archaeologists cutting into the ground beneath the waterfront. It follows the land itself, from an oil-stone dealer named John Mann to the dock that was filled in at the end of the nineteenth century, and on to the black-clad architecture centre that stands there now. Best heard on the plaza facing the building's sloping roofs, with the river at your back.
