 Two Cathedrals ofHhope
Sreet by sourbugger
After several aborted attempts (and I thought the Pope was against that !) the present Cathedral was completed during the 1960's on the foundations and Crypt of an earlier effort in the century that was meant to rival Gilbert Scott's Masterpiece (The Church of England Cathedral) at the other end of Hope street.
Due the Irish connection and it's striking design it is usually refered to, with typical scouse wit, as "Paddy's Wigwam". Leave a Comment

 Anglican Cathedral by sandysmith
Its foundation stone was laid by King Edward VIII in 1904 and Queen Elizabeth II attended the celebrations marking its completion on 25th october 1978, although the last of the 300 strong masons left in 1981.

 You'll never walk alone by sabsi
96 people died in a crammed terraced stand at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium when Liverpool FC was playing Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup Semifinal. Leave a Comment

First, take a look at the picture of Liverpool Cathedral next to the tip. Second, guess how old it is. Third, shake your head astonished when you find out that Queen Elizabeth II opened it only in 1978!
Well, this makes Liverpool Cathedral only one year older than me!
The massive building that looks more like a castle than a cathedral from the outside is the largest cathedral of England, despite its young age. Inside, your view immediately wanders towards the dome ceiling that is incredibly high above you. You could probably fly a small plane inside the church, but I guess they wouldn't allow it... Looking around, you recognize that it is a sort of neo-gothic building with quite many small details. If you are interested in learning more, check out the Liverpool Cathedral official website.
The cathedral staff is very helpful and nice as well and they will try to answer all of your questions. There's also a cafe and a souvenir shop inside the cathedral.

 Anglican Cathedral by littlesam1
One story told about this church is that Paul McCartney wanted to sing in the choir when he was a teen. However the priest did not feel Paul was talented enough to be in the choir. Years later after the breakup of the Beatles Paul returned and did a concert at the Cathedral and saw the old priest. He asked the priest if he remembered not allowing him to be in the choir. The priest answered "Yes, and because of this you went on and became a Beatle. You have me to thank for your success." I do not know how true this story is. It was told to us on our Beatles tour. True or not its a fun story. Leave a Comment

 Anglican Cathedral by sabsi
Liverpool's Anglican cathedral is the biggest cathedral in England and the 5th largest in the world - and unfortunately it isn't exactly beautiful. The people of Liverpool call it "Dracula's castle".
The foundation stone was layed 1904 but it took some time until the cathedral was finished in 1978. Leave a Comment Address: Hope Street

the bombed-out church by King_Golo
One warning should not be forgotten here: It is terribly windy up there! Keep a firm grip on your cameras, hats or scarfs!

 Anglican Cathedral by steventilly
Certainly it's not the most beautiful of cathedrals, being impressive mainly for it's sheer scale. I quite like the place, and as I recall the interior is quite nice and the views from the tower are worth the climb. We didn't go inside on this visit as time was against us.
