Context
15Liverpool, which was once a slave trading centre, has a long history of immigration and emigration due to it being an important port town. Liverpool has long been an extremely deprived city and was the site of serious riots in the 1980s. More recently, it has been the focus of major regeneration projects, and it was named European Capital of Culture in 2008.

Context
16The city of Leicester is, along with Nottingham and Derby, one of the East Midlands' three major economic, social and cultural centres.
Leicester is a major commercial and manufacturing centre, known better for the diversity of its trade than for its dependence on a single industry. It is a historical area of migrant settlement that has attracted many people of different races and cultures over the centuries. Today, Leicester is one of Europe's most multicultural cities with a well-integrated ethnic minority community comprising over one third of the city's population.
