About Liverpool

Liverpool, with its famous waterfront on the River Mersey, is besides a great shipping port also an industrial center. King John launched it on its road to glory when he granted it a charter in 1207. Before that, it had been a tiny 12th-century fishing village, but it quickly became a port for shipping men and materials to Ireland.

The City of Liverpool has been undergoing a massive redevelopment as in 2008 Liverpool is European Capital of Culture.
