Favourite Merseyside Architecture - buildings and monuments

[hallamblue]

I never ever liked this though...

...I was never a fan of this either but I'd prefer they'd gone with it rather than Museum of Liverpool Life...

Will Alsop's Cloud, my late mum was gutted when we gibbed it for the giant X.

The Truce Memorial statue in the grounds of St.Luke’s church

That statue of the football is neither British nor German for the period…..l

Brunswick Gardens L8, where I spent my youth.

Was a nipper a stones throw away from there.
They looked huge at the time.

A fellow Dingle resident.

Aye, he lived not far from Upper Duke Street if my memory serves me well.

I am mate. What about you?

No, I wasn't but my cousins were. I had the fortune/misfortune of attending another grammar school in the city, depending on the experience people had.

Not my favourite, but it was iconic for me.

Queens or Formby or Burbo AA Towers - Liverpool bay.

The Mersey Forts were built, from October 1941 onwards, at Bromborough Docks on the Wirral side of the River Mersey. Removed from shipping lanes 1955. Apparently never fired a shot in anger.

[For compare, 'red sands forts' in the Thames estuary stands to this day.]

Why may I ask? If you're expecting the British solider to be wearing the Brodie helmet, that came in '15, and the Stahlhelm wasn't introduced until '16.

The Pickelhauben looks correctly made from leather, but I will admit the trench cap wasn't until mid-1915.

The cut of the ball leather looks wrong tbh…I wasn’t referring to the soldiers….

The Phil, both outside and inside.

The Black Christ.

I love that.

The first thing many see when arriving at Lime St.
Another Magnificent piece.

The city is littered with many different styles , I particularly like the Gothic , Neoclassical and Period buildings.
Not keen on the Ultra Modern stuff tbh.

A walk from the Municipal buildings onto Town Hall to the Pier head gives a taste of everything good about the City's architecture.
Never tired of looking around all that area when I'm in town.

I can't find a decent pic of it but I love the Mersey Wave in Speke. Once I get past that I'm nearly home.

This good enough ?
