Obstetric Anaesthesia Annual Scientific Meeting 2026 - Annual Dinner
Millions of bricks, thousands of panes of glass and hundreds of steel girders go to make up what was once part of the life blood of the thriving Port of Liverpool – the warehouses. Rum and tobacco imported from exotic locations were stored here in great brick buildings, the size the world had never seen before.
The docks at the mouth of the Mersey River, including Stanley Dock, pioneered modern dock technology, transport and port management. Meanwhile Liverpool hummed with emigrants from all over Europe preparing to depart for a life in the New World. It quickly became the Second City of the Empire and trading through its docks and canals was at the core of this success.
Liverpool is a city like no other. The rich blend of history and culture, combined with the vibrancy, humour and energy of its people, has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions. Boasting two cathedrals, more Grade II listed buildings than anywhere outside London and the biggest Chinese arch outside of China, this city is just a little bit special.
