It is about 180 miles (290 km) northwest of London.
Liverpool is linked with nearby industrial cities by a ship canal.
The city forms a crescent on the rather flat eastern bank of the Mersey River. The total area of the city is about 43 mi² (112 km²).
Liverpool has a typical English climate – a temperate maritime climate. It’s very unstable with a mix of rainy, sunny and cloudy days. Summers are usually sunny and warm, winters are wet and cold.
In Liverpool you can find a very well-developed transport system. There is an amazing railroad (which is more like a subway) and airport named after John Lennon. You can easily cross the Mersey River, which divides the city into two parts, on ferry. By the fact, under the river there are three tunnels; one of them is the railway.
History

Unfortunately, the history of Liverpool’s symbol – the Liver Bird – also has been lost. However, there is a thought that the symbol is an image of a bird that could be seen in that area.
One of the main ways to observe history is looking at things that ancient people left behind themselves. One of such things can be found in the area of Liverpool and it is a circle of stones, which points out that around 4000 years ago there were the first people who lived in this area, now they known as Druids.

If you like a exciting life then the city was for you. However cities were bustling smelly and loud places and 1 out of 20 people lived in them. People had to purchase everything at shops and the market. Cities were often near the waterfront because ships needed a doc to unload shipments from england. Houses were close together and made of wood which made fire a real danger because that was the only way of lighting houses.

It began as a muddy pool, which was the meaning of the city’s original name: Liuerpul. Liverpool, located in England, was found by King John during 1207. It was known for being a port town, which was used to send soldiers and supplies to the Irish Sea during the conquering of Ireland by England. As years passed, King John divided the land and allowed people to establish houses and to start living. Later, they were given more freedom to start their own organizations. Over the next centuries, population grew and fell constantly because of poverty and famine. The economy wasn’t stable enough to give the city a proud name. It was not until the years between 1760 and 1850, when a big era hit the city of Liverpool, called Industrial Revolution. It became a success because of new technology that was invented to increase the population and secure its safety. Liverpool's industrialization became a success because new ideas and inventions affected the size of population and development of Liverpool.

Oddly hidden between skyscrapers, is the Old State House, a museum devoted to explaining the history of not only Boston but some secrets of our nation itself. There is the Old North Church, which is Boston’s oldest church. On the steeple of this church Paul Revere was signaled about the British arrival. Even enjoy a baseball game at Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox since 1912. *Getting around Boston shouldn’t be a problem due to the public transportation system,consisting of buses, trains, boats.

There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer’s goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.
