We wanted something other than Beatlemania. Being history buffs we chose this walkabout with Edward and it did not dissapoint. Liverpool has always been a major hub for trade and banking. Edward explained that while few slaves actually were transported through Liverpool, certain port city businessmen played a major role in orchestrating finance and shipping details of this dreadful practice. It was almost a cartel of sorts quietly facilitating acquisition of enslaved people and their harrowing transport to the new world. The walking tour was small and private with only Edward and two of us. He took us to key places in the city that were linked to the slave trade, but he also pointed out other highlights like where Paul Mccartney's dad worked and how Freddy Mercury was inspired to name his band Queen. He showed us special buildings, churches and WWII damage. It was an educational way to spend a couple hours.
