By Martin Greaney

The landscape has had a huge impact on the history of Liverpool and Merseyside. The ice age glaciers carved out the Rivers Mersey and Dee; the Sefton coast provided a perfect place for the earliest humans to hunt and gather food; and the Pool and the Mersey, and England s position on the coast gave King John the perfect base from which to launch his Irish campaigns. changing city right through to the present day. It explains why Liverpool looks the way it does today, and how clues in the modern landscape reveal details of its long history. You ll see how the landscape created Liverpool, and how in turn Liverpool recreated the landscape."
