"Albert Dock is evocative of Liverpool’s rich industrial history, made up of docks and warehouses along the waterfront. Standing since 1846, Albert Dock was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world, as the complex uses iron and brick in place of wood. Albert Dock has historically been one of the foremost and innovative docks in the world, and a front runner in technology such as hydraulic cranes."

"Primarily built as a warehouse and docking system for ships to load in and out of its warehouses, the Albert Dock houses the largest selection of Grade I listed buildings anywhere in the UK.

"We can’t really make a list of the best pubs in Liverpool without featuring one of the most famous clubs in the world, can we?.

From the Beatles to Oasis to Stevie Wonder, musical legends have won crowds over at this funky little venue."

"Doing lots of little things right” is a definition of perfection – and this simple seafood restaurant in Chorlton is just that.

"Where: Liverpool Street, on an unlikely crossroads in Salford. Best Dish: Pig’s trotters with chilli, onion, spring onion and sesame. This restaurant of many names (Mr Fresh? Peking Duck?) offers a no holds barred Chinese menu with a Beijing accent, filled with gizzards, feet, tongue, lungs, kidneys, trotters and stewed chicken with mushrooms."

"Chinese is one of those foods that you never stop craving – so it’s pretty handy for us Salford students that the Peking Duck is only a 5 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) from the main campus. With unbeatable prices, the Peking Duck will satisfy for sure. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!"
