THE BRIEF Liverpool's extraordinary story and its emergence as a great world city was based on one simple fact - it was a place that people came to. People came to Liverpool to trade, to work, to start a new life and explore new opportunities. \r \r Liverpool was one of the world's greatest ports and one of the world's most cosmopolitan melting pots, a genuine global city.
