Between 1829 and 1947, over 1,100 vessels of all sizes and types slid down the Laird slipways into the Mersey and during this time Birkenhead was placed at the forefront of the British shipbuilding industry. In 1931, over 193,000 people in the Merseyside region were employed in the shipping, transport

child, I didn’t have the most privileged life. My family and I had many ups and downs both financially and emotionally like selling our house and lodging in the back streets of Birkenhead.

Liverpool has been referred to as the core city of Merseyside conurbation in the north west of England. In this essay I will consider the effect of local and global interactions that have produced this image of the city and how the city has come to be the place that we see today.
