As a Scouser with an interest in physics I'm ashamed to have known nothing about this :(

I know! It’s not like it’s an obscure location, either. I feel like my grandpa knew everything about Liverpool but “They proved why the universe is made of matter here.” never came up.

I can't say the history was well-known even generally in the Liverpool department when I was a student, knowing Mike Houlden, and Arthur James, and John Holt less well. I was at least somewhat aware of it, though. I gather the unit of data-taking was the suitcase full of paper tape, but I don't know how that was analyzed.
