Central Liverpool doesn't really do wealthy - it's mostly shops and offices, docks, university, poorish areas, etc. The city isn't that big. The wealthier people would live outside the city in e.g. Huyton,maybe Sefton,(which has nice houses round Sefton Park but is now a bit run-down, towards Bootle, and across the river in 'The Wirral' areas such as Birkenhead and Hoylake. There's a toll tunnel under the Mersey to the Wirral and it has a lot of traffic problems from all the big cars coming to and from the city at rush hour.I don't think this has changed much from when Bodie would have been young though I only got to know Liverpool at all in the late sixties/early seventies and then only through friends who live there. Hope this helps but maybe a Liverpudlian will see your post!
