This project will be looking at the relationship between the past and the present within the rich social culture of Liverpool and it's surrounding communities in Merseyside. A place that has seen itself at the heart of Britain's identity in the north west from generation to generation. Following the decline of its docking industry in the post victorian-era, Liverpool has been through dramatic stages of both degeneration and progression. Yet in the wake of the 21st Century, outside of London it is now the UK's fastest growing economy. The Sunday Times published on 24 March 2013* that areas of Liverpool are in fact now rated among the best in the country for families. With such rich heritage on every street corner, my aim is to look behind the scenes of Merseyside, and into the heart of one of the strongest communities in Britain. Taking visual and audio accounts from members of the public in all areas of Liverpool to give a true to life account of what makes this City so special.
