Liverpool

Mersey estuary city

Liverpool is a major port city in northwest England, historically significant for maritime trade and the Atlantic slave trade.

The city is strongly associated with its football clubs—Liverpool F.C. and Everton—and as the birthplace of the Beatles: She's from Liverpool.

A native is a Liverpudlian or, informally, a Scouser.
