In this episode we chat to curator of the Derby collection at Knowsley hall, Dr Stephen Lloyd, about the links between Shakespeare, Prescot and The Earls of Derby. Stephen takes us all the way back to Jacobean England as we explore Prescot’s original cockpit, Shakespeare’s connections to the area and the history of theatre at Knowsley Hall. 

We recorded this podcast at The Lord Strange pub which is quite fitting considering the podcast! Another one of Prescot’s gems The Lord Strange is a comfy cozy pub that serves up amazing food and cocktails alongside a great selection of boss European beers. If you’re ever on Prescot’s high street make sure to dip in, you can’t miss it the building has a huge graffitied Shakespeare on the side. So join us as we head to The Lord Strange to chat to Doctor Stephen Lloyd!
