Car hire in Liverpool
Just above Wales in the north west of England lies Liverpool and runs along the river banks of the Mersey. Essential to understanding Liverpool's resilient and acid-tongued character is its location on the broad estuary of the River Mersey, a place full of fogs and seagulls. Despite its miserable side - decrepit tenements, boarded-up shops - Liverpool has a kind of shabby grandeur.
For 200 years the city ruled the seas as a world-beating port and cornerstone of the British Empire, built on slavery, commerce and emigration. It entered an extended period of decline when container shipping killed off the docks in the 1960s, and signs of degradation are still sadly evident. But Liverpool's sense of identity is as fierce as ever, the grand public buildings are still standing, the Beatles legend grows stronger every year and pride in 'the Pool' remains stubbornly strong.
