Modern

In the early 20th century Liverpool continued to control trade across the Atlantic. Grand buildings such as the 'Three Graces' at the Pierhead were built from the profits of this trade.

As the focus of British trade shifted towards Europe, the ports of the south coast started to take a lot of the trade. Liverpool suffered terrible bombing during the Second World War and was rebuilt and redeveloped between the 1940s and 1970s.

An area of the centre of Liverpool was granted World Heritage Site status in 2004. The city was European Capital of Culture in 2008.
