The thriving city of Liverpool has become particularly well known over
the last century for its maritime industry, contributions to sport and,
of course, its legendary musical heritage. However, this city has a
history that stretches back hundreds of years, right back to the early
thirteenth century when it was formed as a borough by King John in 1207.
It was soon after this that Liverpool's first streets were constructed.
These historic streets, at the very heart of the city, are steeped with
heritage and tales of Liverpool's captivating past. Author David Paul
takes readers around Liverpool's oldest streets, providing insight on
their initial development, how they have changed and the construction of
notable buildings. He lets the reader in on the secrets that these
streets have held for hundreds of years in this thoroughly researched
book, which is accompanied by both historic and full-colour
illustrations of each location.
