 Roman Standard - Fledgling
Liver Bird by SapineKuu
In my view however Tracey has produced something that challenges the historical approach to public sculpture -often large dark and oppressive symbols of power.
The tiny bird is located in the shadow of the Anglican Cathedral - a location that serves to emphasize its tiny size. The bird disappears when viewed from the front appearing again like magic as you move from left to right. Address: Liverpool Oratory Upper Duke StreetDirections: The Liverpool Oratory is the building on the left of the Anglican Cathedral The sculpture is located in the grounds behind the gates. These are often locked but the sculpture can be viewed from outside if necessary.

If you enjoy public art projects you really should see the Metroscopes by Clive Gillman. The metroscopes are five large circular digital displays that constantly change. Each one represents Liverpool and one of its twin cities (Odessa, Dublin, Shanghai and Koln).
Why are they so great?
Well, each metroscope automatically hunts the internet for live information on the city using the search phrase 'Liverpool is..' 'Shanghai is..' etc. displaying what it finds on the Metroscope. They do this 24 hours a day acting as a barometer for current thinking about our great cities
For me they capture the essence of how important the ebb and flow of information has become to our lives. The fact that they do this without human intervention adds a certain science fiction like quality to the project. Address: Rope Walks City CentreDirections: Top end of Bold Street close to St Luke's Bombed out church.Website: ww.metroscopes.net

 You'll never walk alone... by sourbugger
(answer at the bottom of the page)
In Matthew Street you will find a wall devoted to all the number 1 hit records performed by Liverpool bands. The discs are set into the wall in a series of rows, and there are still quite a few places left to fill before it reaches the floor. Somehow I don't expect 'Gemini' (the crap entry into the Eurovision song contest) to be adding to that number. Leave a Comment Address: Matthew StreetDirections: Cavern district P.S the answer ? They are Gerry and the Pacemakers and all three of their first singles went to No1 in the UKWebsite: www.visitliverpool.com

 Yellow Submarine by sabsi
This is what the plaque on the submarine says:
"In the town where I was born.." ...so began the imortal opening lines in the Beatles 1966 song "Yellow Submarine".
The hit record and film inspired fans of all ages - including apprentices at the world famous Cammell Laird Shipbuilding yard, on the River Mersey.
From a design by Graham Burgess, the apprentices built this 20-ton submarine, which is 51 feet long and made from plate metal, for the Liverpool International Garden Festival in 1984.
It was transported across the Mersey to the Festival Garden site at Otterspool where it was one of the main attractions for millions of visitors.
But, in 1997, the Festival site finally closed and the Yellow Submarine was left high and dry.
The tide turned when Liverpool City Council stepped in to rescue the Fab Four's rusting sub and give it a new berth in the city centre. The Yellow Submarine was first taken to a council depot where it was repaired and renovated by New Deal trainees from Liverpool Architecture and Design Trust.
Fully ship-shape, it was re-launched at this site on August 24th. 2000 for a new generation of Beatles fans. "
LATEST NEWS JANUARY 2005: The submarine is gone as the field where it was on is a huge building site. Does anybody know where it is? Is it under water even? ;) Leave a Comment Address: Opposite Albert Dock at Strand Street
