A visit to Liverpool isn't complete without experiencing the iconic legacy of The Beatles. Our Beatles tour led us through the boyhood neighborhoods of Paul, John, Ringo, and George, all situated in close proximity. Along the way, we explored Penny Lane, tracing the path of their famous bus rides, and discovered Strawberry Field, originally an orphanage surrounded by wild strawberry fields. The early years of the Fab Four left an indelible mark on global music culture.
Moreover, Liverpool holds historical significance pioneering hub for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 19th century. Serving as a central base for LDS missionary efforts in England, the city attracted individuals and families seeking a new life in North America. Departing from the nearby port of Albert Dock, migrants embarked on a transatlantic journey with support from the Church, leaving behind their homes for the promise of a brighter future across the Atlantic. Today, their enduring legacy is evident in thriving communities across the United States, highlighting the enduring impact of faith and migration from Liverpool to the New World.
Overall, it is estimated that around nine million people emigrated through the port, with 85,000 being LDS members.
