UK Government stats rate Liverpool as the most deprived City based on Health,Education,Employment,and Crime.Here are my photos of Kirkdale one of the most deprived areas of the City.
Besides you wouldn't think it was deprived in the city centre especially with all that development going on, and did it not get the Cultural Capital city of Europe for 2008 or something...
Yeah, Liverpool has yet to fully recover from the Winter of Discontent and the advent of containerization. It has not gotten to the point where you can say it is in a "recovered phase", like you might about Manchester, Sheffield or Leeds, and today has the same population as it did in 1870. Manchester has managed to reposition itself as a "desirable" place and has received a fair amount of jobs from companies looking to balance their London heavy operations... Leeds is where Asda is headquartered and has a big tech and banking sector... Sheffield produces more steel than it ever did during its supposed hey day.
Liverpool had managed dramatic job growth in the 2000's, but I am not sure how much that is reversing with the recession. I wish it well because some of my family lives nearby in the Wirral, and they always talk about how slow things are to change there.
