You begin on a damp cobble by the Mersey, the river pushing a cool breath across the dock while the guide points to a narrow doorway once walked by the teenage band that changed pop. The city’s brick and sandstone architecture frames the walk — tight streets, music venues, and glazed warehouses that carry the echo of rehearsals and record deals.
