The streets between Bold Street and Duke Street - Slater, Wood and Fleet streets - feature an increasing number of places in which you can sip a latte, neck a late-night beer or shop for punk records and vintage clothing. Concert Square , just off Bold Street, its space once occupied by a factory, was levelled to provide room for warehouse-style bar developments, whose outdoor seats are at a real premium in the summer. On neighbouring Wood Street, the Open Eye Gallery , at nos. 28-32 (Tues-Fri 10.30am-5.30pm, Sat 10.30am-5pm; free; ), features temporary exhibitions of photography and the media arts. Bold Street ends at Hanover Street, with the pedestrianized shopping street, Church Street continuing beyond. To the left, School Lane throws up the beautifully proportioned Bluecoat Chambers , built in 1717 as an Anglican boarding school for orphans and now a contemporary art gallery (Tues-Sat 10.30am-5pm; free) with a decent cafe and bookstore (Mon-Sat 9.30am-5pm) and arts centre. From School Lane turn right on Paradise Street and walk down Whitechapel towards Queen Square , through an area which has seen a lot of redevelopment, particularly around Williamson Square . One of the neighbourhood's surviving Victorian warehouses, on the corner of Whitechapel and Queen Square, is occupied by the Conservation Centre (Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun noon-5pm; GBP3, free with NMGM Eight Pass). This is where Merseyside's museums and galleries undertake their restoration work and give visitors a hands-on, behind-the-scenes look.
