I used to work in Liverpool in the 1980's and it was a great city with massive character. I think it was during the 1980's and 1990's that Liverpool became a place for visitors to enjoy and not to avoid. One of the events that changed the perception of Liverpool was that a former household 'tip' located adjacent to the Mersey was transformed into the UK's first ever garden festival in 1984. The Festival Gardens attracted some 3.4M visitors. In considering how Liverpool has changed I would ask has Liverpool lost something.
