Estia Students visit Liverpool.

The Kop
As the Estia students entered their final week of studies at the University of Wolverhampton, the students had a break from their hectic study schedule and headed for Liverpool. 

As part of their morning itinerary the students had a quick visit to the Anfield Stadium, home of the Liverpool Football Club, passing by the Hillsborough memorial,

the Shankly Gates, before stopping outside the Paisley Gateway. The students then visited the club store beneath the famous Kop end of the ground.

As the weather turned somewhat damp! the students jumped back on the coach and headed to the Albert Docks.
