side of a world class region with many key developments in technology and world changing events,
that have shaped the world in which we live today.
Merseyside was

Merseyside region consists of North and South Liverpool, Sefton
to the North of Liverpool, Knowsley and St Helens to the East
and the Wirral to the West. Merseyside now has an approximate
population of 1,403,381 with around 610,000 households. It has
some of the richest wildlife on and off its coastline as well as
the highest number of listed buildings outside of London. In
1984 Liverpool hosted the International Garden Festival and in 2008 Liverpool was designated
European Capital Of Culture by the European Union for that
year. |
