Liverpool city centre is in a constant state of flux.
Department stores that were once titans of trade no longer dominate the high street. Pubs, bars and music venues have made way as its residential offer has expanded. It was a similar story for other parts of the city centre as sweeping changes were brought in around 2008.
For decades, Liverpool’s nightlife has been dominated by Ropewalks and Mathew Street, but both are now being rivalled by Castle Street. The ornate street, book-ended by the 18th Century Town hall and modern court buildings, was once Liverpool’s banking epicentre and one of the most important streets in the county.
