A brief history of LiverpoolA brief history of Liverpool

The name Liverpool comes from the word 'Lifer' that means muddy water.

In 1207 Liverpool had a population of around 500 people, King John design the original street plan for the city. Liverpool has slow economic and population growth until the end of the 16th start of the 17h centuries; the fast growth came from the silting of the river Dee which led to the first wet dock in the city as trade was forced to Liverpool. The population grew again in the 1840s due to the great Irish famine.

Liverpool and Manchester became the first cities to link by railway.

IN the mid 1800s the city was known as the 'New York of Europe' as it was attracting immigrants from all over Europe for work on the docks.

After the great war housing and jobs were in short supply raising tensions between the native liverpudlian and immigrants, this led to mass building of council houses.

During the Second World War, Liverpool was key to both sides, the city endured a blitz on a scale that was only surpassed by London.

After the 1960s Mersey beat era owed to the Beatles the 1970's saw changes in shipping which saw Liverpool endure the highest unemployment rates in the UK. By the mid 90's Liverpool was growing faster than average and had started to recover from the previous decade’s unemployment.

Liverpool is a success story in more recent history, capitalising on the Beatles success, museums, art galleries, landmarks and the multi billion pound Liverpool one development. Liverpool is now a thriving entertainment, shopping and cultural hub in the north of England.
