About Liverpool
  • Liverpool in North West England, is a major city
    and metropolitan borough with an estimated
    population of 478,580 in 2015 within the City of
    Liverpool metropolitan borough
  • Liverpool, and its surrounding areas, forms the
    fifth largest metropolitan area in the UK, with
    an estimated population of over 2.24 million in
    2011. The local authority is Liverpool City
    Council, which is the most populous local
    government district within the metropolitan
    county of Merseyside and the largest within the
    wider Liverpool City Region.
  • The city celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2007.

History
  • The history of Liverpool can be traced back to
    1190 when the place was known as 'Liuerpul',
    possibly meaning a pool or creek with muddy
    water, though other origins of the name have been
    suggested.
  • The borough was founded by royal charter in 1207,
    but Liverpool remained a small settlement until
    its trade with Ireland and coastal parts of
    England and Wales was overtaken by trade with
    Africa and the West Indies, which included the
    slave trade.
  • In 1830, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was
    opened. The population grew rapidly, especially
    with Irish migrants by 1851, one quarter of the
    city's population was Irish-born.

5
Climate
  • Liverpool experiences a temperate maritime
    climate, like much of the British Isles, with
    relatively cool summers and mild winters.
  • The absolute minimum temperature recorded at
    Bidston was -12.8 C (9.0 F) during January
    1881, typically the coldest night of the year
    should fall to -4.0 C (24.8 F) (19712000
    average) However, the variability of the local
    climate was exposed as the weather station at
    Crosby fell to -17.6 C (0.3 F) during December
    2010.
  • The absolute maximum temperature recorded at
    Bidston was 34.5 C (94.1 F) in August 1990
    typically the warmest day of the year should
    reach 27.5 C (81.5 F) (19712000 average). The
    absolute maximum at Crosby is 33.5 C (92.3 F),
    recorded in July 2006

Religion
  • The thousands of migrants and sailors passing
    through Liverpool resulted in a religious
    diversity that is still apparent today. This is
    reflected in the equally diverse collection of
    religious buildings, including two Christian
    cathedrals.
  • Liverpool is known to be England's 'most Catholic
    city', with a Catholic population much larger
    than in other parts of England.
  • Liverpool also has a Hindu community, with a
    Mandir on Edge Lane, Edge Hill. The Shri Radha
    Krishna Temple from the Hindu Cultural
    Organisation in Liverpool is located there.
    Liverpool also has the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara
    in Wavertree and a Bahá'í Centre in the same
    area.

Economy
  • The Economy of Liverpool encompasses a wide range
    of economic activity that occurs within and
    surrounding the city of Liverpool, England. With
    a population of over 1.3 million in its Larger
    Urban Zone, and a metropolitan area population of
    2,241,000, Liverpool is one of the largest cities
    in the United Kingdom and sits at the centre of
    the broader Merseyside economic area, which is
    itself one of the two core economies of the North
    west of England.

Education
  • In Liverpool primary and secondary education is
    available in various forms supported by the state
    including secular, Church of England, Jewish, and
    Roman Catholic. Islamic education is available at
    primary level, but there is no secondary
    provision.
  • Liverpool has three universities the University
    of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University
    and Liverpool Hope University.
  • The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine,
    founded to address some of the problems created
    by trade, continues today as a post-graduate
    school affiliated with the University of
    Liverpool and houses an anti-venom repository.

Culture
  • As with other large cities, Liverpool is an
    important cultural centre within the United
    Kingdom, incorporating music, performing arts,
    museums and art galleries, literature and
    nightlife amongst others. In 2008, the cultural
    heritage of the city was celebrated with the city
    holding the title of European Capital of Culture,
    during which time a wide range of cultural
    celebrations took place in the city, including Go
    Superlambananas! and La Princesses.
  • Liverpool is internationally known for music and
    is recognised by Guinness World Records as the
    World Capital City of Pop. Musicians from the
    city have produced 56 number one singles, more
