This print takes us back to the 1960s, capturing a significant moment in Liverpool's architectural history. The image showcases the construction of the iconic Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, as seen from a department at Liverpool University on Chatham Street, Merseyside. The grandeur of this Gothic Revival masterpiece designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens is truly awe-inspiring. In the background, we catch a glimpse of two famous Liver Birds perched atop their beloved city. To the right, another marvel unfolds - the towering office block for Littlewoods being erected on Old Hall Street. The photograph perfectly encapsulates an era marked by progress and ambition. The crane dominating the skyline symbolizes industry and growth while serving as a testament to human ingenuity.
