Liverpools Anglican Cathedral

Liverpools Anglican cathedral is an imposing building that you can see from almost anywhere in the city. This shot was taken from an archway the spans the Nave of the cathedral. The image does I hope convey the grand scale of this building . Which is possibly the largest public space in the UK

The modern cathedral in Liverpool is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott and was constructed between 1904 and 1978. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel is 207 yards making it the longest cathedral in the world. Work on the monumental building was twice held up by the two World Wars. Gilbert Scott died in 1960 so he never saw his work completed

The cathedral was built mainly of local sandstone quarried from the South Liverpool suburb of Woolton.
