| | | | Merseyrail: Encyclopedia II - Liverpool - History In 1190 the place was known as 'Liuerpul', meaning a pool or creek with muddy water. Other origins of the name have been suggested, including 'elverpool', a reference to the large number of eels in the Mersey.

It is thought that the king wanted a port in the district that was free from the control of the earl of Che ...

| | | | Merseyrail: Encyclopedia II - Privatisation of British Rail - 1980s developments The Thatcher administration developed a policy of selling off the nationalised industries into private ownership, or privatisation. As far as the railways were concerned, the government's policy had little effect during the whole period of the Thatcher administration except in relatively small areas, as it was considered that privatising core railway operations would be too difficult.
The chain of British Transport Hotels was sold off, mainly one hotel at a time, in 1982; Sealink (U.K.) Limited was sold in 1984 to Sea Containers Limit ...
