History

There are two sources of the name of Liverpool. One is that Liverpool was called' Liuerpul' in the 12th century, which means a pond or stream full of silt. Another way of saying it comes from the name' elverpool' because there used to be a large number of eels in mersey river (eels are called eels in English). It is generally believed that the city of Liverpool originated in August 127, when King John issued an imperial edict to establish the town of Liverpool. But until the mid-16th century, Liverpool was only a small town with a population of 5. During the English Civil War, in 1644, there was an 18-day siege. It was not until the English Civil War in the 195s that the trade and population of Liverpool began to grow slowly. In 1699, Liverpool became a parish. In the same year, the first slave ship of a Liverpool merchant sailed in Africa. In the 18th century, the trade with the West Indies surpassed that with Ireland and Europe, and Liverpool began to grow. In 1715, Liverpool built the first dock in Britain, and the profits from the slave trade helped the city prosper rapidly. By the end of the 18th century, Liverpool controlled 41% of the slave trade in Europe and 8% in Britain. At the same time, it is also one of the main areas of the British industrial revolution. By the early 19th century, 4% of the world trade had passed through Liverpool docks. In 183, the world's first passenger railway was opened between Liverpool and Manchester. The population of Liverpool continued to increase rapidly and eventually became the second largest city in Britain. A large number of major buildings have been completed in Liverpool (such as St. George's Hall and Bodhi Street Station), reflecting its wealth. Thousands of Irish people arrived here because of the great famine of 1845-1849. By 1851, almost 25% of the city's population was born in Ireland. In the first half of the 2th century, immigrants from Liverpool came from all over Europe. During World War II, Liverpool suffered 8 air strikes, which killed more than 2,5 people and damaged almost half the houses in the metropolitan area. In 1952, Liverpool became a sister city with another city, Cologne, Germany, which had terrible experience in air strikes. After the war, the city was rebuilt on a large scale, including residential buildings and Seaforth Dock, the largest dock project in Britain. In 1931, the population of Liverpool peaked at 855,688. In 1961, it dropped to 61,114, and in 21, the population further dropped to 439,476. In the 196s, Liverpool became the center of youth culture. "Merseybeat" became synonymous with the Beatles and other pop bands, which made the city jump to the front of the pop music scene. Since the mid-197s, Liverpool's docks and traditional manufacturing industries have declined sharply. The arrival of containers means that Liverpool's docks are out of date. In the early 198s, the unemployment rate in Liverpool was the highest among the big cities in Britain. Since the mid-199s, Liverpool's economy has recovered, and its growth rate is higher than the national average.

Population

Since 197s, the docks and traditional manufacturing industries in Liverpool have declined sharply, and the city of Liverpool has to be transformed, among which tourism has become an important pillar of Liverpool's economy. In 22, the population of Liverpool was 441,477, while the population of the whole Mersey metropolitan area was 1,362,26. Ethnic composition: white 94.3%; South Asians account for 1.1%; Black people account for 1.2%; Chinese account for 1.2%.

Economy

Liverpool's economy has recovered from the long-term decline after the Second World War. From 1995 to 21, it has recorded an annual growth of 6.3%. This will be more obvious compared with other cities: inner london is 5.8% and Bristol is 5.7%. From 1998 to 22, the job growth rate was 9.2%, while the national average was 4.9%. Like other cities in Britain, the service industry in Liverpool has developed greatly. It has several large customer service centers, and some ports have been converted into communication facilities. Tourism is also the economic pillar of Liverpool, equipped with a large number of high-quality services such as hotels, restaurants and clubs. The architecture of Liverpool not only attracts tourists, but also attracts filmmakers to take pictures here.

food culture

American-style Big Mac supermarket is the first choice for Scousers to buy food and daily necessities. The food in the supermarket is not cheap. A small box of dozens of green beans costs two pounds. The cheapest and most common vegetables are: tomato/potato/cauliflower/broccoli/lettuce. British people are very particular about meat, and different parts are in different boxes. Usually beef is more expensive than pork, and pork is more expensive than chicken, but it is important to look at different parts. But you should be careful that the meat you can't finish will soon go bad. In the street, there are restaurants with different flavors everywhere, and French and Italian dishes are all here. China City has all the flavors of China from south to north, and there is definitely something to your taste. The British consumer index is quite high, but the consumption level and prices of Liverpool in British cities are low. Ordinary hotels cost about 15 pounds a night, and restaurants eat more than 7 pounds. If the budget is low, you may not have much money to spend on shopping when you visit Britain. The common currency in Britain is the pound sterling, which is common in England and Scotland. One pound is exchanged for RMB about 13 yuan. An inch of Albert dock

pound =1 pence. Among them, coins are 1, 2, 5, 1, 2, 5 pence and one pound and two pounds; Paper money comes in denominations of 5, 1, 2 and 5. Currency can be exchanged at American Express [151-78-922] or at tourist centers, post offices and airports. Visa and MasterCard (also called Access) are commonly used in Britain. Visa users can get cash first at Midland Bank and Barclays. MasterCard users can operate credit card cash advance service in NatWest, Lloyds and Barclays systems. American Express and Diner Club may not be used in small stores, although there is no limit on their usage. However, if you hold American Express, you can cash a personal check of 5 pounds in seven-day installments. Although the use of credit cards is very popular in Britain, it is best to carry credit cards, cash and traveler's checks at the same time in case of being swallowed. In addition, the host family only accepts cash and cannot use credit cards. When talking about Liverpool, I have to mention the Beatles. All the members of the Beatles grew up here, and their first performance was also in Liverpool, which was on May 21st, 1961, 5 years ago.
