EDITORS COMMENTS
Looking down from the 210ft present height of Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral, this print takes us back to the construction phase of this iconic architectural masterpiece. Captured on June 4th, 1965, it showcases the grandeur and intricate details of Sir Frederick Gibberd's Gothic Revival design. The bottom half of the picture reveals a mesmerizing arc formed by the cathedral's main roof, showcasing its impressive scale and craftsmanship. Rising proudly from its base is the main entrance porch, which will soon house majestic bells that will resonate through the city streets. From this aerial perspective, Mount Pleasant can be seen at the top of the image, providing context to Liverpool's urban landscape during that era. The photograph not only captures a moment in time but also highlights an important milestone in Liverpool's religious history. As one gazes upon this historic snapshot, it becomes evident why Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral holds Grade II listed status today. Its Roman Catholic significance and spiritual importance are beautifully represented through Sir Edwin Lutyens' vision brought to life by dedicated industry professionals. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and faith-driven ambition. It allows us to appreciate how architecture can shape our cities while reminding us of Liverpool's rich cultural heritage.
