  • Changing perceptions of Liverpool
    • Architecture
      • The city is a UNESCO world heritage site
      • Liver building is Grade I listed
      • Reminders of a time when Liverpool's wealth exceeded London
      • The skyline is recognisable and often includes a ferry which is a  reminder of Liverpool's maritime past
    • Music
      • The Beatles were from Liverpool
      • Created a representati-on of the city during the 1960s
      • Many people felt like they knew the city due to this connection e.g. Penny Lane
    • Riots
      • In July 1981, there were riots in inner city Liverpool (Toxteth)
      • Liverpool was represented as a dangerous and volatile city
      • That summer, other riots in Handsworth, Brixton and Chapeltown led to the media branding inner cities as 'no go' areas
      • The media implied that the inner city people were a problem rather than focusing on the high deprivation that caused the rioting
