10 Facts About Liverpool You Didn’t Know
What 10 facts about Liverpool might you not know? Imagine being crazily in love with a city despite knowing just a little about it. What then when we learn so many more fun facts about the city? Besides its being the home of the Beatles and a UNESCO World Heritage site, what else did you know about Liverpool? Love to discover fun facts about the city? But there’s a challenge. There are more facts about this city than we can possibly cover in a medium video like this. So please, we’ll do it together. In this video, we’ll show you the 10 facts about Liverpool you didn’t know. But if any of them isn’t new to you, kindly tell us what you knew about it in the comment section.
10. The city was founded by King John
This is perhaps the best place to start this; the founding of the city. Also known as the villain in Robin Hood, King John founded Liverpool in 1207 when he was the king of England. He worked with King Richard The Lionheart’s brother. Does the name sound familiar? It is because of Robin Hood. This fun fact will interest you and might not even be strange to you if you love literature and movies. Back in the early 13th century, attacking the Irish was King John’s favourite pass-time. In order to do that, he would sail from Chester and needed to pay a tax to the Earl. To evade that tax, he founded his own port city, choosing Liverpool in 1207.
9. Home of the world’s only International Slavery Museum
Did you know that the world’s only slavery museum is in Liverpool? Located on Albert Dock inside the Merseyside Maritime Museum building, this museum is one of the best. It is most of all unique in the world. Founded in the early 1900s, it was obviously not to eulogize slavery but to help appreciate the important role it played in those days in the development of the city during the Triangle Trade. It remains one of the best cultural buildings in the UK that is available to visit. That historical gem always produces poignant exploratory voyages as it examines West Africans and the rich diverse art heritage they brought to Europe as slaves.
8. Liverpool has the most number one hit singles
To hold the world record for most number-one hit singles released, Liverpool’s bands have produced 56 as of the last check. That’s one of the reasons the Guinness Book of World Records named it The City of Pop in 2001. Also in 2015, it was crowned the UNESCO City of Music. The Beatles certainly helped to set the pace for this one. But a variety of other bands and artists have benefited from Liverpool’s pop and rock musical traditions. Ever since the 1950s, these traditions have been active. One of the most well-known single hits having links with this city is ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ Through the years, it has evolved into an eternal song for the city bringing thousands of its fans together.
7. Over 2,500 Listed Buildings
There are over 2,500 listed buildings in Liverpool divided into two categories with 27 being Grade I and 85 Grade II structures. Just imagine how rich the history of this incredible city would be and how much fans of British history can learn. Considering the fact that it has nearly 300 years of history behind it, that figure of 2,500 shouldn’t be surprising at all. This exquisite infrastructure in Liverpool tells a narrative of its world-class port which saw its fortunes sink in the 1900s and how it now enjoys renewed prosperity as an international cultural hub. Among such buildings is the Victorian Albert Dock mentioned earlier. It is the greatest single collection in the country consisting solely of cast iron, brickwork, and stone construction.

Places to see in ( Formby - UK )
Places to see in ( Formby - UK )
Formby is a civil parish and town within the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton in Merseyside, England. Historically in Lancashire, three manors are recorded in the Domesday Book under Fornebei as Halsall, Walton and Poynton. The town's early recorded industry points to cockle raking and shrimp fishing (in addition to arable ventures) last through into the 19th century. By 1872, the township and sub-district was made up of two chapelries (St. Peter and St. Luke), and contained Birkdale township, the hamlets of Ainsdale and Raven-Meols and Altcar parish. Formby was built on the plain adjoining the Irish Sea coast a few miles north of the Crosby channel where the sands afford shelter to the towns.
Formby is affluent with high owner-occupation and car ownership. Strong economic ties are retained with nearby Liverpool to which it acts as a dormitory town for some of its residents. The greater area is a popular tourist destination during the summer months, with day trippers attracted to its beaches, sand dunes and wildlife - most particularly the endangered red squirrels and natterjack toads. The area is conserved by the National Trust, and designated a site of Specific Scientific Interest.
Erosion of sand on the beach at Formby is revealing layers of mud and sediment, laid down in the late Mesolithic to the late Neolithic, approximately 8,000 – 5,000 years ago, and covered in the early Bronze Age. Formby Hall is a Grade II listed building dating back to 1223. It has traditionally been the home of the lords of the manor. Much of the land around it is now a golf course.
Formby Beach is the location of the first lifeboat station in the UK. It is believed to have been established as early as 1776 by William Hutchinson, the Dock Master for the Liverpool Common Council. Although no exact record has been found, the boat used is believed to have been a 'Mersey Gig'.
Formby is a coastal town roughly 7 sq miles (17 km²) in the borough of Sefton. The town is built upon the west of a large flat area of land called the West Lancashire Coastal Plain. The town is 1.5 feet (0.5 metres) below sea level at its lowest point. Formby's highest point is within the sand dunes that separate the Irish Sea from Formby, sand dunes are ever changing in shape and formation so there is no fixed point. The River Alt runs into the Irish Sea just south of Formby at Hightown.
Formby is in a temperate climate zone, with mild winters and warm summers. Formby's coastline faces an ongoing threat from water based erosion, with high tides washing away yards of sand dunes. In an attempt to stem this, in some years discarded Christmas trees are collected and planted by rangers to help slow this effect.
Formby has a significant tourist industry most notably between the warmer months of May and September. In particular it's popular with day trippers from Liverpool and other industrial towns in Merseyside and West Lancashire. There are two main spots along the Formby Coast which are particularly popular with the public.
Formby Bypass (A565) was built over fifty years ago to take the major Liverpool to Southport route out of Formby and cut alongside the fringe of the town. The bypass is a dual carriageway with two roundabouts and two sets of traffic lights. It has been the scene of many accidents, some fatal and there are calls from some for the scrapping of a proposed motorway link as a result. The B5195 links Formby with Ormskirk and Maghull. Motorways are easily accessible, the M58 and M57 are both 6 miles from Formby.
( Formby - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Formby . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Formby - UK

Stanley Park in Liverpool. Nice park with a lake.
Stanley Park is a 110 acres (45 ha) park in Liverpool, England, designed by Edward Kemp, which was opened on 14 May 1870 by the Mayor of Liverpool, Joseph Hubback. It is significant among Liverpool's parks on account of its layout and architecture. It has a grand terrace with expansive bedding schemes that were once highlighted by fountains. It includes the 1899 Gladstone Conservatory (recently restored and renamed the Isla Gladstone Conservatory), a Grade II listed building built by Mackenzie & Moncur of Edinburgh.[1] 50–60% of the land consisted of open turfed areas, suitable for sport, with most of the rest being laid out as formal gardens and lakes. Kemp designed a horse-riding track ('Rotten Row'), though it did not catch on and was restyled as a cycle track around 1907.
Stanley Park is known for dividing the home grounds of rival Merseyside football clubs Everton and Liverpool. However it was also the original home to a fledgling Everton Football Club in 1879 before the club moved to nearby Priory Road and then Anfield Road.
Part of Stanley Park was to have been incorporated into the area of Liverpool's proposed new stadium, plans for which were first announced in 2000, ironically the same location Everton F.C. played, but a change of ownership of the club during autumn 2010 resulted in the Stanley Park project being scrapped in October 2012, in favour of expanding Anfield.[2]
Merseyrail Ride to Hooton | Sim0nTrains Railway Journeys
In this Sim0nTrains Railway Journeys, Sim0nTrains travels back on the Merseyrail Network to visit Bache, Capenhurst and Hooton.
Starting at Rugeley Town, the train was standing there for 9 minutes! But Sim0nTrains boarded the 0724 to Rugeley Trent Valley and once at Rugeley Trent Valley, Sim0nTrains travelled on the 0742 to Crewe onboard London North Western Railway Class 350 Desiro. At Crewe, Sim0nTrains had a 10 minute connection to take a Transport for Wales service to Chester and after that, it was time for the Merseyrail journey on the 0910 to Bache which I filmed there for a hour before catching the 1013 Merseyrail service to Capenhurst and finally reaching Hooton Station to terminate the vlog.
Also at Bache and Capenhurst, had a quick look around to see what Station facilities they were but didn't do it at Hooton due to the station was busier than the other two.

The Secret Charm of Staithes: Revealed | 4K
This is Staithes, The Secret Charm of Staithes: Revealed
Clinging to the hillside, Staithes is an unmissable destination to explore. From the winding cobbled streets to the charming 18th century cottages, you’ll find this coastal village is full of character.
Staithes was once one of the largest fishing ports in the North East, now this hillside gem is a treasured based for exploring Yorkshire’s cliff top paths and discovering the delights of rock pooling and fossil hunting on the small sandy beach.
Staithes is a charming, traditional fishing village on the North Yorkshire Coast, it is the perfect place to enjoy some time beside the sea.
The North Yorkshire seaside town of Staithes is just 10 miles from Whitby, it embodies many of the reasons why seaside towns hold such appeal. Once one of the busiest fishing ports on the North East coast, Staithes boasts a long proud history as the one-time home of famous Royal Navy captain and explorer, Captain James Cook. Staithes is approximately 22 minutes drive from Whitby along the coast.
A Brief History of Staithes
Remnants of Cook’s time here can be seen in many of the tourist attractions of today including Captain Cook & Staithes Heritage Centre. A recreation of the shop in which James Cook worked during his residency here, the museum is a treasure-trove of over 200 books, engravings, letters, medals and more, providing an insight into his incredible life and career, as well as into Staithes itself.
You can also visit ‘Captain Cook’s Cottage’, and the Captain Cook Inn – a lovely pub/restaurant and hotel overlooking the sea. Famous for its real ales and great food, which includes a range of vegetarian and wheat-free options, you are sure to enjoy a relaxing stay, whether simply enjoying a bite to eat or staying the night. Don’t forget to try their house ale, the Northern Navigator, brewed especially for the Captain Cook Inn by the nearby North Yorkshire Brewery.
Staithes Art History
There is so much to do in Staithes, for both young and old. Fans of art and history will love strolling through the pretty town’s narrow cobbled streets and paying a visit to the elegant Staithes Art Gallery.
Staithes is a magnet for artists who come to admire the beautiful coastal scenery, traditional fishing scenes and village ambience, and immortalise them on canvas. The advent of the railway in 1883 brought a host of artists to Staithes including Hannah Hoyland, Fred Mayor and Harold Knight. Many paintings from local and visiting artists are on display at the gallery throughout the year – look out for special exhibitions and showcases too.
Things to do in Staithes
Exploring and Walking
A popular activity whilst in Staithes is to explore the old village through its fascinating alleys and ginnels. Winding through the village’s cottages and cobbled streets, each alley boasts a quaint name, such as ‘Dog Loup Alley’ – the narrowest alley in the world at just 18 inches wide! You will discover a different side to Staithes through each alley you visit with lots of opportunities for taking a unique and quirky photograph of Staithes from all angles!
Rockpooling and Fossil Hunting
A trip to the seaside wouldn’t be complete without a bit of rock pooling in the abundant rock pools left at low tide between Staithes and Port Mulgrave, many of which are teeming with life that children especially will love to seek out. You will certainly find plenty of fossils and tiny marine creatures whilst exploring, and if you are lucky, you may even spot some seals sunning themselves along the shore!
Staithes sits on what is known as the ‘Dinosaur Coast’, making it a favourite with fossil hunters, palaeontologists and dinosaur fans from across the country. You can choose to go on an organised fossil hunting trip or, for the more experienced, explore independently in and around Staithes and Runswick Bay. If visiting as a family, children will love their finds of ‘fools’ gold’ – little nuggets of Iron pyrite which, to the untrained eye, look just like the real thing!

The Albert Dock, Liverpool - 29th December, 2011
The Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside of London. It is a vital component of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City and the docking complex and warehouses also comprise the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK.
This footage is taken around The Albert Dock on a stormy and windy day in December, it features views of the docks and the buildings, including the Tate Gallery and National Maritime Museum. It also includes the Yellow Duckmarine tour vessel.

How AMAZING is this ?! Cruising my boat to Liverpool via Albert Dock [Ep 177]
This week I cruise my Narrowboat across the Liverpool Link, passed Victoria Tower, The Liver Building and the Royal Albert Dock to my destination Salt House Dock. This has been an incredible journey cruising the Leeds Liverpool Canal and single handing so many swing bridges but arriving here in the wonderful City of Liverpool has been worth it. I explore the Albert Dock, get a ticket to ride to see the Beatles, take a boat ride across the River Mersey and meet up with many wonderful people.
I talk about my nerves looking out across the River Mersey as I will be cruising that in my Narrowboat, in the next episode!

Thank you so much for watching. If you are new here, I'm Heidi and I live aboard my Narrowboat The Rum Wench and travel the UK's Canals in search of Adventure. After selling my house to experience an alternative lifestyle I bought a canal boat and a camper van which as a solo female who loves to travel, gives me the best of both worlds. I have recently got myself a new addition to the crew, a fabulous companion - my little rescue dog Bonny who is an absolute joy and the perfect First Mate. I also work full time off grid from my tiny home and trade at canal festivals as The Narrowboat Pirate aboard The Pirate Boat.

The Rufford Branch by Narrowboat - Burscough to Tarleton
Having turned off the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Main Line onto the Rufford Branch we find it a lot quieter. Leaving Burscough Junction behind us the countryside becomes quite flat with hills seen only at a distance. We pass through Rufford where there are two marinas each with good cafes and facilities for passing boats. There are also visitor moorings beyond the bridge where you can stop to visit nearby Rufford Hall owned by the National Trust.
