Composite view of Liverpool


This postcard is a composite of four pictures that are all scenes you will come across to when doing the Liverpool Waterfront walk. The top left photo is that of a close-up of The Beatles Statue; top right is that of Edward VII Monument with the Port of Liverpool building in the background; bottom left is that of the stairway near the Museum of Liverpool with the 'Three Graces' in the foreground; bottom right is another view of The Beatles Statue.

We saw all these sights and attractions when we did the Liverpool Waterfront walking tour. We went to Liverpool on the penultimate day of our summer holiday in North Wales last 2023. It was only a little over an hour's drive from our holiday park. The highlight of our tour was the Liverpool Waterfront walk, where this picture of a boat docked with the famous 'Three Graces' in the background.

Liverpool


Liverpool is a maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea. A key trade and migration port from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, it's also, famously, the hometown of The Beatles. Ferries cruise the waterfront, where the iconic mercantile buildings known as the "Three Graces" – Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building – stand on the Pier Head.
