I understand the area called Merseyside was created in 1974 and that before this year the area was simply part of Lancashire.

The concerns of a Liverpool being depleted of people didn't actually play out. Patsie was right about communities changing, but they always do, it's just hard to know what they'll change into. The growth of car ownership did more to change the communities of Liverpool than the town planners ever did. People used to live near to where they worked but when you have a car, you can live in Kirkby or Prescot and work even further out. It's great seeing glimpses of those old squares and market stalls though.

I think the bit on the slave trade was overdone: clearly Liverpool was one of the two key British ports (alongside Bristol) for the trade in the 18th century. However it’s a bit of a stretch to state a building built in the 1930’s was significantly funded by the profits of the slave trade abolished a century earlier - Liverpool was one of the worlds greatest ports long after the slave trade, it was perfectly likely to be a wealthy Liverpool merchant who’s great grandfather had been involved in the slave trade, who’s wealth was predominantly if not entirely from mid/late19th / early 20th century trade rather than inheritance from the napoleonic era slave ships.

To clarify: I’m not denying or belittling the city’s role or profiting from the slave trade - lots of buildings and streets are built off the those profits. I just think it’s being brought up in the context of an unrelated 1930’s building for the sake of adding unnecessary controversy/drama.

Not wishing to cause controversy, but I’m not a fan of the video calling it “Liverpool Cathederal” and ignoring the Metropolitan Cathedral on the same street. Locally it is often called “The Anglican Cathedral” to differentiate. I think the piece is also neglecting to mention the catholic cathedral under construction was planned to be massive, beating multiple world records, and the chosen design of the Anglican cathederal was heavily motivated by a desire to match or exceed the Sir Edwin Lutyens metropolitan cathedral.

Not wishing to be sectarian, I just feel, as a Liverpudlian, it’s not accurate to consider it, as the video says as the cathedral of “the people of Liverpool” (I wouldn’t consider it as “my cathedral” or “the cathedral” and we would never have a city-wide civic event there) it belongs to one of the two communities that share the city, and gather on either end of hope street.

Incidentally the metropolitan cathedral was designed by an Anglican and the Anglican Cathedral was designed by a catholic.

I was born in Liverpool in 1946 about half a mile from this cathedral site in the diocese of The Sacred Heart. Coming from an Irish catholic family my religion was a major part of my early upbringing, I was expected to become an altar boy, and my grandmother, mother and aunt worked in the convent or the Sisters Of Mercy so I got more of an ear bashing about Catholasisim than most, maybe that has something to do with my atheism now. I could never get my head around being told I was never to set foot in the cathedral and I never did. Working outside the UK most of my working life, I was home on leave back in the 1990s and was boosing in town when I came upon the cathedral and decided to go inside and see it. This day blew me away I now go every time I am in Liverpool, for me It is the most beautiful building in the country, I stand in awe of the magnificence of this edifice but look at it more from a superb piece of engineering rather than a church although I treat it with all the reverence it is due.
