80 years on we remember 
Liverpool's 'May Blitz'
			
			THE
			Liverpool Bliz 
			took place over 1 May to 8 May 1941. The Mersey had the largest Port 
			on the West Coast, which was of significant importance to the 
			British war effort. This lead to Liverpool and along with 
			Birkenhead, taking the heaviest bombing, outside London. The 
			targeting of the area, by the German Luftwaffe, killed over 4,000 
			civilians, on 
			Merseyside. Today we can still see the 
scars of the bombing and the war, if you look around the area. The most well 
known landmark!
