Overview

Liverpool is situated on the estuary of the River Mersey. It is the fourth largest city in the United Kingdom. It is a main port and chief commercial centre. The city forms a crescent on the eastern bank of the Mersey.

Long stretches of docks and warehouses line the waterfront area.

The Mersey estuary is linked by a ship canal with Manchester and other nearby industrial cities. The economy of Liverpool is based largely on shipping and related businesses. Liverpool has a rich seafaring heritage and is highlighted by the famous song ‘Ferry across the Mersey’ and this certainly is the best way to see the amazing waterfront. The Three Graces, The Liver Building, and The Cunard Building are all famous landmarks. The Pier Head area forms part of the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City, which is a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site. Liverpool is famous for having two Cathedrals as well as two Premiership football teams, Liverpool and Everton. Their stadiums are situated at either end of Stanley Park. Liverpool is also home to the famous Beatles, both John Lennon and Paul McCartney had their childhood homes in the Allerton area of Liverpool, and this was the inspiration for some of their most famous songs including Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields.

Highlights

John Lennon's Childhood House

The 1933-built semi-detached property, which belonged to John Lennon's aunt Mimi and her husband George Smith, is in Woolton, south Liverpool. Lennon moved there in July 1946 at the age of five from 9 Newcastle Road in the nearby suburb of Wavertree. He lived at Mendips after his mother, who was living with her boyfriend, was persuaded that it would be better for his Aunt Mimi and George to take care of him. He remained at Mendips until mid-1963, when he was 22 years old. In 1965 Mimi sold the property, taking away some of the furnishings and giving away others.

In 1975, Clive Langer, Steve Allen, Tim Whittaker, Sam Davis, Steve Lindsey, John Wood and Roy Holt (a mix of Fine Art students and tutors at the college) founded seminal 'art rock' band Deaf School and went on to sign a record deal with Warner Bros Records US after being 'discovered' by former Beatles publicist and head of Warner Bros UK at the time Derek Taylor.

Paul McCartney’s House

20 Forthlin Road is a National Trust property in Allerton in south Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is the house in which Paul McCartney lived for several years before he rose to fame with the Beatles, and it is labelled by the National Trust as "the birthplace of the Beatles". It was also the home of his brother Mike and the birthplace of the trio the Scaffold, of which Mike was a member.

Royal Albert Docks

The Royal Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world. It was known simply as the Albert Dock until 2018, when it was granted a royal charter and had the honorific "Royal" added to its name.
