Liverpool is known for its beautiful skyline and stunning architecture, but there are a number of buildings in the city that locals really don’t like.
In 2021, Liverpool lost its World Heritage status following the development of the waterfront, which UNESCO said led to the “irreversible loss” of the historic value of the docks - and many Scousers seem to agree.
