Tucked behind the Town Hall in Liverpool city centre is one of the city's largest outdoor spaces.
Exchange Flags played an important part in the city's history as the original trading site for merchants, including slave traders, who carried out their business there. Today the historic square sits at the heart of the business district and is largely home to offices and a handful of restaurants.
Despite many people passing through the square on their way to work each day, many others visiting the city are unaware it's there, according to people we spoke to in the area. There's a feeling among businesses that more could be done to celebrate Exchange Flags and unleash its potential when compared to squares in other cities across Europe.
