The immense structure is the Anglican Cathedral the biggest in England. It's really worth going inside ,especially the rooftops offer a brilliant view, not to mention the decor and art inside.

The birds you mention are a kind of cormorant Bella looking to the sea protecting the seafarers and Bertie looking to the land to protect the residents. Legend has it that if these birds disappear the city will dissolve. What possessed you to walk from Bootle to the centre? You could have gotten much closer to the centre no problem. There's so much beauty and hisory to see in this city. Shame you were in so much pain.

Yes the air vents are for the Mersey Tunnel transport system.

For the new tunnel ( Kingsway) The Old tunnel (Queensway) ventilation shaft is on The Strand 👍👍

Liverbirds are cormorants with seaweed in there mouths

Oh man!! I can't believe you made such a journey just to see the surface of this magnificent city. I agree, you need to return and do a proper visit in order to appreciate what is available and what you choose to see. Otherwise, what's the point of your journeying?

Hi Katherine, thanks for your comments, sounds like you may know the area well...Just to clarify our trip is to walk the coast of England and wales. it is a journey of around 3500 miles so we do not have the time to explore places we would like to. maybe we will do that on a future trip...

Modern architecture saps the will to live out of you...its so uninspiring. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

[@Theoriginalbigbrillo]

Totally agree, the new developments around Mann Island and Liverpool 1 are a Disgrace 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
