The lights of Liverpool’s waterfront take on a different edge in winter — glass and brick warmed by strings of bulbs, steam from food stalls drifting across cobbles. You begin beneath the Royal Albert Dock’s iron arches, the river Mersey daring you to look past the glow and remember the city’s working port. A local guide steers the group through the market’s hum, where mulled wine and roasted chestnuts punctuate conversations and the air carries the sharp sweetness of winter spices.
