Liverpool is a city and former major port situated on the northwest coast of England.

Liverpool was originally part of the county of Lancashire then in 1207 due to the port becoming one of the world’s major ports Liverpool became a borough.

By the 1700s Liverpool’s port was trading with parts of the British Empire such as the West Indies as well as its traditional trade with Ireland and mainland Europe, in the early 1800s Liverpool saw forty per cent of the world’s trade pass through its port, this lead in 1880 to Liverpool winning city status.

People born in Liverpool generally refer to themselves as being either Liverpudlians or more famously as scousers, the most famous of which are arguably the Beatles.

The Beatles were formed in 1960 and its most famous members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Starting with their first hit single 1962’s “Love me do” the Beatles went on to have many number one hits around the world, by 1963 “Beatlemania” stormed the world marking their place in history for ever, unfortunately in 1970 the Beatles split up with all four members going solo. In 1980 John Lennon was shot and killed outside his New York apartment and then in 2001 George Harrison died of lung cancer, the remaining two Beatles Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney still perform and record solo material.

In 2002 Liverpool’s international airport was renamed to Liverpool John Lennon Airport as a tribute to the Beatles and Liverpool’s most famous son.
