Exploring Hidden Liverpool

Located in north-western England, Liverpool is a city with bold architecture, a profound industrial history, a thriving music scene and, above all, really friendly people!

In this video, I'd like to take you on a tour around Liverpool and show you a number of interesting sites related to the Titanic, Britain's railway history, war and much, much more (and yes, that does include The Beatles!)
