Liverpool insider information

• Albert Dock, a UNESCO World Heritage site containing the largest single collection of Grade I listed buildings in the UK, is one of Liverpool’s most popular tourist attractions. The dock is of paramount importance to the city’s maritime history and now houses the Merseyside Maritime Museum, as well as other institutions such as the Tate Liverpool, the Beatles Story exhibition and a range of bars, cafes and restaurants. 
• The Beatles Story exhibition is dedicated to Liverpool’s famous sons. Beatles fans flock to the site to learn about the history of the Fab Four from attractions including the Fab4D Experience and replicas of famous Beatles-related sites. 
• Liverpool Cathedral was founded in 1904 but building wasn’t completed until 1978, due to wartime difficulties and cost issues. The cathedral is the largest in the UK in square ft, and its Grand Organ is the largest organ in the UK.
• World Museum offers free entry and contains collections that focus on natural and physical sciences as well as archaeology and ethnology. The museum originally opened in a different building in 1853 as the Derby Museum of the Borough of Liverpool.
• The Williamson Tunnels of the Edge Hill area are an intriguing piece of Liverpool’s history. They were built under the direction of businessman Joseph Williamson in the 19th century and their purpose is largely unknown. One theory is that he commissioned the labyrinth simply to provide employment for local labourers, an act of charity that allowed beneficiaries to save face. The Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre, which opened in 2002, hosts guided tours through parts of the underground network.
