A Conversation for Liverpool's Slave Traders

On another point entirely - and at the risk of also being a bit picky - there's a small amendment required regarding the "Bluecoat/Bluecoats" school.
The correct name is actually the "Blue Coat" (two words) School. The school was founded primarily by mariner Bryan Blundell (who apparently wanted to make amends for participating the slave trade) and the Rector of Liverpool Reverend Robert Styth in 1708. The Blue Coat School still exists, although it moved from the central Liverpool premises now occupied by the Bluecoat (correct spelling) Arts Centre to its current location in the South Liverpool suburb of Wavertree in 1906.
More information can be found on the school and its history at its official website: http://www.bluecoatschool.net
