Liverpool

Situated on the river Mersey in the North-West of England, Liverpool is a major UK city with an important history as a transatlantic port when ocean liners were the most significant means of transport to the Americas. Liverpool is also a multicultural city, having absorbed large numbers of Irish immigrants and ethnic minorities and so many Welsh that it was known as the 'capital of North Wales.' This rich diversity has produced the distinctive scouse accent known the world over since the Beatles era.

The city has many fine municipal buildings dating from its period of maritime dominance. See some vintage postcard views of Liverpool that illustrate a selection of these buildings and the pride of the community then and now..
