People & Places

Liverpool is home to many well-known individuals and as a result, there is evidence of famous names attached to places and street names all around the city. Even those who are known for less notoriety have a famous street name that many know (e.g., James Penny for Penny Lane and Jonas Bold for Bold Street, both of whom were slave traders).
