Jamaica Street/Greenland Street

Originally known as the 'Artistic Quarter', this had to be changed after it was realised Liverpool had 27 different quarters. In this area of dilapidated warehouses, all the grass roots culture that Liverpool City Council/big business kicked out of the city centre can be found, clinging like lichen to rock. Jamaica Street and its surrounding area harbour a fantastic array of galleries, workshops and studios where the discerning eye might spot the next big thing in English art. Go now, 'cos by 2008 it will be a trendy wineluxuryapartmentbarmall.
