The History of Liverpool
Liverpool started out as a small fishing port on the shores of the Mersey river. Its name comes from the olde english for "muddy pool", probably owing to the silt accumulation around the Mersey estuary.The port and town were officially founded in the 13th century, when the King made his first visit to it. During the Civil war, which began in 1642, Liverpool was, at various times, a stronghold for both the Royalists and Parlimentarians. The Royalists held the town till 1644, when they lost the battle of Marsten Moor, and subsequently all the northern part of Britain. The City owes much of its wealth and prosperity to the slave trade. It became Britain's 3rd largest port, behind Bristol and London. Bristol of course, also having slave trade links. It finally became a city in 1880. As it was a main center for trade and industry, Liverpool suffered greatly in World War 2, when it was heavily bombed in the hope of inhibiting the war effort. 10,00 houses were destroyed and its two main churches were damaged. In fact, if you visit today, at the top of Bold Street you can see a famous local landmark, simply and affectionately called "the bombed out church". Liverpool won the place of European Capital of Culture for 2008. This has been marked by many spectacular events, encompassing all forms of culture. In September, a 12ft sculpture of a spider was slowly moved around the city by six men with long poles, before coming to rest in the business district on a vast web.
