Rachel Rumpelstiltskin Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 My partner and i are visiting Liverpool in a few weeks and although we are going to be going to celebrate our mates 30th we still want to see the city a bit. So any recommedations of things to do/see that onlya local would know? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The museum of liverpool life down at the albert dock is interesting, along with the maritime museum which is next to it. There is a great section on immigration and slavery in the basement with a mock up of liverpool streets at night around the docks etc. The liverpool life bit covers the last 50 or so years. Liverpool One is the new shopping area with lots of nice shops and cafe's etc 2 big catherdrals, the Protestant one which is a big traditional type and the wigwam next door - a more modern ummm eyesore belonging to the catholics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 An alternative but entertaining hour can be spent having lunch in witherspoons while marvelling at the whole array of goods that the local shoplifters sell to cutomers in there during the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) st george's hall http://www.stgeorgeshall.eu/ A beautifull looking building and you can go into the old courts and the cells in the basement. the combined headquarters of the western approaches if you're interested in 2nd world war type stuff http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/eng...92041?list=true If u like museums the National conservation centre shows you how pieces are preserved and restored http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/conservation/ OH's firm did all the graphics here. http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/wml/ Hope you enjoy Liverpool.
