When a word sticks in Liverpool - it is likely to stay around for a very long time
Across the city, there are many landmarks and places known mainly by the popular nicknames they've had for years.
This list isn't intended to be comprehensive, we've included just a number of 'nicknames' across the city through time. But if you have any suggestions past and present to include, let us know in the comments section below. The venue itself of course still exists, but you can no longer visit it by the name it originally had, as The Liverpool ECHO was the naming sponsor of the arena from 2008 until early 2019. But many still call it the ECHO Arena.
Today, the last surviving bullring in Liverpool is home to hundreds of students from the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University. In recent years, it featured in BBC drama The Responder with Martin Freeman. It is famous for many things - legends such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan are known to have played in the club. Despite its huge blue wording showing its name to be 'Blue Angel,' it also gets called 'The Raz' as it briefly changed its name to the Razzamataz in the 80s, before reverting back to the Blue Angel a short time later.
Completed in 1969, the striking building took five years and boasts striking views of the city from dizzying heights of 138 metres. Once the tallest building in Liverpool, beacon's main purpose at first was to act as a ventilation shaft to the shopping centre below, but the tower became famous later in the 1970s for its signature revolving restaurant. In January this year, it was also announced that Radio City will be rebranded under a new name - Hits Radio Liverpool.4.
