Some Liverpool Cottages

There is much about Liverpool that most people will be aware of: the port; the Beatles; the inalienable right of all Scousers to consider themselves comedians - often justifiably; and the two great football teams (Liverpool and Everton, though Bill Shankly thought it was Liverpool and their reserves). But there is a lot about the city that will really surprise visitors. King John gave Liverpool its first Charter in 1207, and for several centuries it remained a minor settlement. But as West Indies and American trade surged it became more and more important, until at one point early in the 19th century some 40 per cent of world trade is said to have passed through it.
