Known for its vibrant nightlife and a certain popular musical quartet - Liverpool is a cultural hub in the north of England.
Liverpool is a city in North West England, with an estimated population of 484,578 in 2016. With its surrounding areas, it is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the UK. The name comes from the Old English lifer, meaning thick or muddy water, and pōl, meaning a pool or creek and is first recorded around 1190 as Liuerpul. King John's letters patent of 1207 announced the foundation of the borough of Liverpool. By the middle of the 16th century, the population was still around 500.
The original street plan of Liverpool is said to have been designed by King John near the same time it was granted a royal charter, making it a borough. In the 17th century, there was slow progress in trade and population growth, but battles for control of the town were waged during the English Civil War, including an eighteen-day siege in 1644. As trade from the West Indies, including sugar, surpassed that of Ireland and Europe, and as the River Dee continued to silt up, Liverpool began to grow with increasing rapidity. The first commercial wet dock was built in Liverpool in 1715. By the start of the 19th century, a large volume of trade was passing through Liverpool, and the construction of major buildings reflected this wealth.
In 1830, Liverpool and Manchester became the first cities to have an intercity rail link, through the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. As early as 1851 the city was described as ‘the New York of Europe’ due to its immense growth and attraction to those outside of the city. This resulted in the construction of a diverse array of religious buildings in the city for the new ethnic and religious groups, many of which are still in use today. The Deutsche Kirche Liverpool, Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, Gustav Adolf Church and Princes Road Synagogue were all established in the 1800s to serve Liverpool's growing German, Greek, Nordic and Jewish communities, respectively. One of Liverpool's oldest surviving churches, St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, served the Polish community in its final years as a place of worship. The city celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007.
Several areas of the city centre were granted World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 2004 including The Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City - made up of the Pier Head, Albert Dock, and William Brown Street. The popularity of The Beatles and other groups from the Merseybeat era contributes to Liverpool's status as a tourist destination.
Liverpool is also the home of two Premier League football clubs, Liverpool and Everton, matches between the two being known as the Merseyside derby. The world-famous Grand National horse race takes place annually at Aintree Racecourse on the outskirts of the city. As well as The Beatles, Liverpool is home to such names as Cilla Black, Elvis Costello, Craig Charles, Kim Cattrall, Ken Dodd, and Wayne Rooney.
