What is 'Discover Liverpool'?

There is a saying; ‘All Roads Lead To Rome’, well, all roads led to Liverpool, and from the Town all roads led to the rest of the Globe ~ across ‘the seven seas’, as well as by canal, road, rail, and air:

For over 250 years, Liverpool was the most important city in the British Empire outside London, and one of the greatest ports in the world. Indeed, Liverpool and Merseyside have been, and remain, a principal economic powerhouse of Britain.
We have seen great success and achievement here, but we have also seen tragedy, disaster, and failure. Today though, we are enthusiastically re-shaping our 21st Century destiny and reclaiming our rightful heritage as a ‘World-Class City and Region’. 

I am a passionate, born-and-bred Scouser, and take great pride in my City, its people, and its heritage ~ and I want to help you experience and celebrate this too: Whether or not you are a native Merseysider this site tells you how I can do this.
Learn how to book me to speak to your group or organisation; MC your special events and ceremonies; lecture on your courses and training programmes; or design and deliver expert and professional courses and briefings.
Everything I do is designed to inform, educate, and entertain you, about the past, present, and future of the Liverpool City Region.

This site also tells you about my Books and Fact-Sheets, and other publications, and explains how to obtain them.

Each month in The Local History Section, I will regularly publish a changing range of article about an aspect of Liverpool and Merseyside’s history and heritage. I will also tell you tales of our characters, eccentrics, and curiosities; and about the things that made Liverpool and our region great, and that are making us great once again. You can suggest topics that you would like me to write about for you. Also visit my Listening page, where you can here me tell these stories to you directly.
Also, keep checking in to take a look at my Special Announcements Section, for news about my public talks, special events, general local history news, and new product information.

As my Discover Liverpool web-site helps you to get to know me, I hope you will also allow me to help you to get to know Liverpool and Merseyside - even more than you may do already!
