The history of Liverpool is closely linked to that of its river and so it makes sense to start the walk at the historic waterfront areas of the Albert Dock and the Pier Head. Learn how nearly all the great events in Liverpool's history have come about due to the River Mersey and the port.

At the Victorian warehouses of the (Royal) Albert Dock (photo 1 below), hear how Liverpool became the port for Britain's Industrial Revolution and then continue to the mercantile splendour of the early C20 Three Graces, alongside exciting new developments.
