Liverpool Daily Post Newspaper Information

The Liverpool Daily Post was a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It was a morning paper, latterly published Monday to Friday in Merseyside, Cheshire, and North Wales editions. The newspaper was published between 1855 and 2012. Historically the newspaper was published by the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo Ltd.

The Liverpool Daily Post was first published in 1855 by Michael James Whitty. Whitty, a former Chief Constable for Liverpool, had campaigned for the abolition of the Stamp Act under which newspapers were taxed. When the abolition took place, Whitty began publishing the Daily Post at one penny per copy, undercutting the incumbent best-selling Liverpudlian newspaper, the Liverpool Mercury.
