The city's distinct local accent is also primarily known as Scouse. Its cultural and ethnic diversity is the result of attracting immigrants from various areas, particularly Ireland, Scandinavia, and Wales; it is also home to the UK's oldest black community and Europe's oldest Chinese community, as well as the first mosque in England. Albert B. Vines opened the pub in 1867</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/shertila/">Tony Shertila</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/shertila/55442899372/" title="Liverpool “we meet under a statue exceeding bare”"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55442899372_1320dbf561_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Liverpool “we meet under a statue exceeding bare”" /></a></p> <p>Liverpool Resurgent is an artwork by Jacob Epstein, mounted above the main entrance to the former Lewis's department store building in Ranelagh Street, Liverpool. It comprises a large bronze statue and three relief panels.<br /> The statue symbolises Liverpool's resurgence following the war, but it is nicknamed locally as either &quot;Nobby Lewis&quot; or &quot;Dickie Lewis&quot;.<br /> The statue became known as a meeting place, and was mentioned in the 1962 song &quot;In My Liverpool Home&quot; by Peter McGovern:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/photoshopnogo/">millicand@rocketmail.com</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/photoshopnogo/55444044469/" title="Reconstructed West Gate, Arbeia Roman Fort, South Shields, Tyne &amp; Wear, England."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55444044469_df99eb43eb_m.jpg" width="207" height="240" alt="Reconstructed West Gate, Arbeia Roman Fort, South Shields, Tyne &amp; Wear, England." /></a></p> <p>Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields. Situated in the middle of a housing estate and only a five minute walk from the seafront, it is the most extensively excavated Roman military supply base in the Empire.<br /> <br /> You might be thinking this is in pretty good shape for someone that is nearly 2,000 years old, and you would be right, as this is actually just a reconstruction of what the West Gate would have looked like. There aren't many places in the country where you can see buildings like this brought to life.<br /> <br /> The original Arbeia fort was built in AD160 by the Sixth Legion and as it was right next to the North Sea, then it was perfect for offloading supplies from the large ships for distribution inland and also there to protect the main sea route to Hadrian's Wall.<br /> <br /> There was a headquarters in the middle, two granaries down the sides and a Commanding Officer's house with barracks and workshops in the quadrants. The first garrison stationed here contained 500 cavalry recruited from what is now modern day Hungary.<br /> <br /> Between AD 222 and AD 235 an additional seven new granaries were added and remained occupied throughout the rest of third and fourth, until the romans left Britain in the 5th century.<br /> <br /> It was rumoured that the fort continued to be occupied and was the birthplace of the Northumbrian King Oswin. However without the expertise of the Romans looking after the place, it fell into disrepair.<br /> <br /> In the 1870s the site was first excavated and then 100 years later in 1970 all modern buildings were cleared from the site. Following that in 1986, the West Gate, barracks and Commanding Officer's house have been reconstructed on their original foundations to showcase what it would have looked like back in the day. This is pretty much what you see now.<br /> <br /> If you're wondering where the name Arbeia came from, it's Latin for 'place of the Arabs' and relates to the regiments in South Shields being recruited from the middle east.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/pippaallen/">Magic Moments by Pippa</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/pippaallen/55442896232/" title="008 Emperor Dragonfly 06"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55442896232_76178a3720_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="008 Emperor Dragonfly 06" /></a></p> <p>Taken at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ernest_descals/">Ernest Descals</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ernest_descals/55442894597/" title="LONDON-CITY-ART-PAINTINGS-LANDSCAPE-LIGHT-NIGHT-TAMESIS-WATER-ERNEST DESCALS-ARTIST-PAINTER"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55442894597_af4551e353_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="LONDON-CITY-ART-PAINTINGS-LANDSCAPE-LIGHT-NIGHT-TAMESIS-WATER-ERNEST DESCALS-ARTIST-PAINTER" /></a></p> <p>LONDON-CITY-ART-PAINTINGS-LANDSCAPE-LIGHT-NIGHT-TAMESIS-WATER-ERNEST DESCALS-ARTIST-PAINTER-<br /> <br /> Impactante paisaje nocturno con las luces de los edificios y rascacielos de la City de Londres y sus reflejos en la oscura agua del rio Támesis bañando la ciudad, Londres es la luz en la noche, pintura expresionista con el movimiento de las aguas y la oscuridad del cielo, vibraciones lumínicas que forman un mundo especial y muy atractivo para pintar. Pintura del artista pintor Ernest Descals sobre papel de 50 x 70 centímetros. Los resortes plásticos se han apoderado de mí y he utilizado fuertes manchas y pinceladas de color.<br /> <br /> A striking nightscape with the lights of the buildings and skyscrapers of the City of London and their reflections in the dark waters of the River Thames, bathing the city. London is light in the night. This expressionist painting captures the movement of the water and the darkness of the sky, creating luminous vibrations that form a special and captivating world for painting. Painted by Ernest Descals on 50 x 70 cm paper. Plastic impulses have taken hold of me, and I have used strong washes and brushstrokes of color.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/skillsbus/">Skillsbus</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/skillsbus/55443965024/" title="IMG_20260804_131103"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55443965024_9dc5a87976_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="IMG_20260804_131103" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/127572835@N07/">mark.griffin52</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/127572835@N07/55442833857/" title="Silver Birch"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55442833857_06551e85b9_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Silver Birch" /></a></p> <p>Ashridge Estate, Chiltern Hills, Hertfordshire, England <br /> Taken in black and white using Grainy Film II mode</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/204727192@N05/">owdoudo</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/204727192@N05/55443906718/" title="wild, wild weather"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55443906718_f6098e9e6d_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="wild, wild weather" /></a></p> <p>wil, wild weather.<br /> absrract macro urban art.<br /> macro photograph of the ground of a now demolished industrial estate. denso, armley,<br /> west leeds, leeds.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/moblynn/">Mobile Lynn</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/moblynn/55443937489/" title="Blackcap 801_8618.jpg"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55443937489_9077e26c43_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Blackcap 801_8618.jpg" /></a></p> <p>An early start on the golf course.
