"Liverpool." Liverpool by wandabendik

Six areas in the historic centre and docklands of the maritime mercantile City of Liverpool bear witness to the development of one of the world’s major trading centres in the 18th and 19th centuries. Liverpool played an important role in the growth of the British Empire and became the major port for the mass movement of people, e.g. slaves and emigrants from northern Europe to America. Liverpool was a pioneer in the development of modern dock technology, transport systems, and port management. The listed sites feature a great number of significant commercial, civic and public buildings, including St George’s Plateau.

The Port of Liverpool Building, the Liver Building and the Cunard Building are often called "The Three Graces" named after three daughters of Zeus who represented, Splendor, Festivity and Abundance.

Went into Liverpool today as my daughter was an castings extra in the period dramas 'Lilies' which has just been televised on the BBC.

We arrived for 10.00am and I had the whole day to look around at my own leisure, so I decided I would leave my car at the docks and walk to the city centre.

• Pros:Great City, full of friendly people.
• Cons:Need lots of time to see it, i'll be back.
• In a nutshell:Love it.
