New Liverpool?

Two images that reflect Liverpool as it is today and Liverpool as it was in the second half of the 18th century.

Liverpool was a major slaving port and its ships and merchants dominated the transatlantic slave trade in the second half of the 18th century. The town and its inhabitants derived great civic and personal wealth from the trade which laid the foundations for the port's future growth. Today it is full of new multi million pound developments and the regeneration of the city is quite staggering.

However whilst the city centre is benefiting from all of this the area that will forever be associated with the slave trade,Liverpool 8, continues to be a run down and under priveledged area, so how much as really changed?
