Discover for yourself the haunts of slave traders, privateers and
press-gangs, the hideaway of a suspected assassin and the desecrated
grave of a self-professed Jack the Ripper, track down the birthplace of
rail travel and Britain's earliest mosque, marvel at a life-size replica
of the world's first submarine and the original home of the Epsom Derby,
be gobsmacked by burial stones older than Stonehenge and one of the
earliest human settlements to be found anywhere in the UK grimace at a
set of heroic dentures all the way from the battlefields of Waterloo and
snigger at the sight of Queen Victoria's dildo, meet toads that sing,
World War II's best-kept secret and the world's first (and smallest)
skyscraper, toast the UK's greatest female athlete in a brew named in
her honour or go for a spin on the only purpose-built F1 race track in
the country ... For tourists and locals who have outgrown Hop on-Hop off
bus excursions, river cruises and Beatles tours, Secret Liverpool is an
indispensable guide to the curiosities of "England's finest Victorian
city", designed for people who prefer to customise their own itinerary
or simply wander where the mood takes them.
