Manchester
The city of Manchester is located in the North West of England, along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. In 2004 Manchester's waterfront was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this reflects the city's importance in the development of the world's trading system and dock technology.
The docks are central to Manchester's history, with the best-known being Albert Dock. Restored in the 1980s, the Albert Dock is the largest collection of Grade I listed buildings in Britain. Part of the old dock complex is now the home to the Merseyside Maritime Museum (an Anchor Point of ERIH, The European Route of Industrial Heritage), Museum of Manchester Life and the Tate Manchester.
In 2003, Liverpool was named European Capital of Culture for 2008 and has a rich history in popular music performing and visual arts. Liverpool also has two premier league football teams, Everton F C and Liverpool FC, and Aintree Racecourse is located to the north of the city and is home to the Steeple chase and Grand National.
