World Film Locations - Liverpool

Outside of London, no other British city has attracted more film-makers than Liverpool. Sometimes standing in for other cities or acting as a version of its own past, Liverpool is an adaptable filmic backdrop. From the earliest makers of moving images - among them the Lumière brothers - Liverpool has endured as a cinematic destination for years.
