Liverpool's historic centre and six areas of the docklands bear witness to the development of one of the world's major trading centres in the 18th and 19th centuries. Liverpool played a major role in the development of the British Empire and became a major port for large-scale movements of people, such as slaves and immigrants from northern Europe to the United States. Liverpool was a pioneer in the development of modern dock technology, transport systems and port management. The listed site includes a number of important commercial, civic and public buildings, including St George's Plateau.
