Liverpool in Photographs
In the 18th century, Liverpool's position as a favored port for Britain's growing Atlantic trade to the West Indies and America allowed it to expand rapidly. It soon became one of the largest and richest cities in the country and the architecture legacy of the wealth in the city can still be seen in Liverpool today. In the last 100 years, Liverpool's fortunes have changed, but although it was heavily bombed during World War 2 and experienced decline postwar through the loss of many of its industries, the city has been regenerated in recent decades, becoming European City of Culture and having areas granted World Heritage Sites. It is now a leading economic and cultural center, with new developments alongside its architectural legacy transforming the city today.
In this book photographer Mark McNeill celebrates the changing face of Liverpool in a collection of stunning images which portray not just the new buildings that characterize modern Liverpool, but also how the how the older Liverpool also survives alongside them, often turned into new uses. For all those who are proud to live and work in Liverpool, as well as those visiting, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see the enduring fascination of this special city.
