Since Metal’s reopening of Edge Hill Station in 2009 it has been home to numerous artists and cultural organisations, as well as hosting workshops and labs, film nights and exhibitions, and large scale outdoor events. The station was originally opened in 1830, and signified ‘the day the world got smaller’ with George Stephenson’s Rocket passing through the station on its way to Manchester as the first passenger train to travel at high speeds between cities. In the city, we focus on engaging and empowering local people and the diverse communities in the surrounding areas of Edge Hill, Kensington, Wavertree and Toxteth, through art, education and social events. Since renovating the unused building in 2009, we use the space to serve as an artists hub and creative space for the neighbourhood. In Liverpool, Metal is situated at Edge Hill Station, the oldest active passenger railway station in the world. “You can’t imagine how strange it seemed to be journeying on thus, without any visible cause of progress other than the magical machine, with its flying white breath and rhythmical, unvarying pace, between these rocky walls, which are already clothed with moss and ferns and grasses and when I reflected that these great masses of stone had been cut asunder to allow our passage thus far below the surface of the earth, I felt as if no fairy tale was ever half so wonderful as what I saw.” – Fanny Kemble’s description of the experience of travelling on the Liverpool and Manchester railway
