Welcome to Paddy's Historical Tours of Liverpool.

This is a 2 hour long historical walk exploring the “footprints” left on the port, town and then city by the millions of people who are linked to this small space, at the heart of Liverpool — people who lived, moved through, built, traded, and died in this ancient spot.

This tour is not about the Fabulous Four, nor about the two international football teams in the city. There are other tours that will cater for those curious to find out more about those topics.

This tour focuses on the vast numbers of people connected with the places and the streets of Liverpool. The themes of this tour are the same as the people who lived in this port, town and then city: love, loyalty, heroism, creativity, risk, and wealth. In addition: exploitation, crime, disease, poverty, and war.

The tour focuses on the area around the city centre and connects with its over 800-year-old past. We will explore the port, the town, and the city, with its human “footprint” still visible on the maps of today. We will travel through time, from early medieval England through to the early 21st Century.

People, Places, and the Past in Liverpool. I invite you to travel back in time with me to the historical heart of this fabulous ‘City’.
