Whilst we were preparing to go to Liverpool I was tasked with looking for locations that would convey not just the deprived and derelict areas of the city but also it's rejuvenated and modern buildings associated with its culture and heritage. (These were taken with Google Street View.)
The recently redeveloped and heritage heavy Albert Dock.
The new Liverpool Echo arena, a symbol of wealth and culture as it hosts a lot of events.
The Metropolitan Cathedral, a symbol of religion with a modern design aesthetic.
In contrast, Liverpool's Catholic Cathedral has a much more traditional and maybe Gothic appearance.
The derelict and rotting Edge Lane is the first thing that people see when they enter Liverpool via the motorway and is off putting. Most of these houses were undergoing demolition when we arrived, however some were still standing and created a nice juxtaposition with the new houses which had taken their place.
The Liver building and Titanic memorials both hold significance for the city, the former being one of Liverpool's most recognisable buildings and the Titanic memorial being a symbol of a disaster that claimed the lives of many Liverpudlians.
Liverpool One, a vast redevelopment of the city centre illustrates the amount of money that the city had when it became the city of culture and is a hub for retail and social activity.
This marina is close to the Albert Dock and usually has some watercraft in it, some vintage.
Some more wealthy and up market residential streets not far from the Catholic Cathedral and Chinatown.
These industrial units are further out of town and have just been left to rot.
Lime Street is awash with large victorian buildings including the train station, Empire theatre, Walker Gallery and City Museum.
