Even Mancunians might like it. BBC History Magazine Liverpool 800: Culture, Character & History provides a long overdue reappraisal of Liverpool's chequered history...Lavishly illustrated, this is a vibrant, stylish and witty book. Times Literary Supplement This is an altogether rich work of history... The range of sources used and the multiplicity of people and incidents discussed by Belchem and his colleagues are remarkable... Liverpool 800 sets a standard for other city centenary histories to emulate. Urban History Here is a welcome salute on the 800th anniversary of Liverpool's chartered existence. This is an altogether rich work on history. The range of sources used and the multiplicity of people and incidents discussed by Belchem and his colleagues are remarkable.
