Liverpool is a lively city in England’s north west. The city lays claim to many world firsts. The most well known of these is that the citywas the site of the world’s first commercial wet dock. The Liverpool docks were, by the early nineteenth century, the busiest on the planet with approximately forty percent of the world’s trade passing through the port. With such plentiful wealth it is not too surprising to discover that the city is home to some of the greatest galleries and museums in the whole of the UK, with only England’s capital city (London) having more.
