Beautiful pictures.
Isn't the Liver Bird based on the Cormorant?

supposedly it is Philip, that's what alot of books seem to think...

Here's one:

Nice one, Marky,
but where IS it, can we see it? Any more info about it?
is it in The Book, Wavydavy?

The Liver bird shield is on the Railway bridge adjacent to Runcorn-Widnes bridge.
The various shields were being painted when I passed (2004).

Thanks :) - I'm made up with it :PDT_Piratz_26:

Great photograph, Kev! :)

I managed to browse through David Cotterals book today, at 9.99 it provides pictures of the locations of 1000 liverbirds!!!

Brilliant!

Marky, fantastic pics. Keep meaning to take pics of the Scottie Rd one, but it's one of those fleeting moments whenever I drive past. It's a cracking piece of artwork. Many's the time I've been tempted to disassemble it (I reckon 20 minutes tops), slap it in my hire van and reassemble it in my back garden. Seriously:PDT_Piratz_26:

Two I snapped around Croxteth Park:

That bottom one looks like it has been well-used as a WAX-RUBBING. So there's an idea for the museum; so many museums and "experiences" offer "ready-made" brass images for the kids to do wax-rubbings of, and it would only cost buttons to have this kind of thing available in Liverpool Museums. Any other ideas what sort of things could be offered in such a gallery/section/area? Section of Shankly Gates? Something off a ferry-boat (bell)?

Happy Christmas to all and sundry.

Excellent pics chaps :PDT_Piratz_26:...

The coat of arms: 'Argent (silver) a Cormorant in the beak a branch of sea-weed called Laver all proper'. It includes Neptune with trident and a Triton blowing his shell. The banners include the Arms of Liverpool and a ship under sail.

Somewhere I have some photos (not mine unfortunately!) of one of the Liver Birds with a ladder up it, onto it's back! I don't know which crazy fool had been climbing up that (maybe it was for inspection purposes?) but I don't think the ladder's up there anymore...

found this on rodney st pretty much opposite the pyramid tomb.

im fairly certain its a liver bird, if it isnt i would be fascinated to find out why!

It's a municipal signpost, so, yes, it's a LB. I liked the 80s/90s vintage signposts, those with a Liver Bird on top. However, the new, more modern-looking signposts in town are rather smart as well.

interesting stuff indeed!:)

Very nice pics all, well done :PDT_Piratz_26:.

Liverbird (city facing) with ladders. I noticed these ladders around late 2003/until early 2004. I presume for some sort of checking/repair work. A pic appeared in the Echo aswell. On the sea-facing Liverbird I could just about make out 'Billy 1995" had been painted on its' back.

Thank you for these Liver Birds, Max.

I suppose you know that Higson's used the Liver Bird on their signs.
I didn't know that Higson's were still in business, but then, what do I know about Liverpool's Breweries? :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Never heard of Higsons. Mostly heard of Cains which is on the Edinburgh Pub Sign I took as well.

Reservoir Road, Woolton. This Liverbird is above the door of the tower.

Brilliant, thanks Marky

Not seen that end of Woolton.

But I always mostly go down there for Sainsburys.:PDT_Aliboronz_11:

One of the more fascinating relics to be found in Mossley Hill are the old tramway overhead cable support columns. These are to be found on Queen's Drive near its intersection with the main railway line into Lime St. As with many Liverpool Corporation installations, these were adorned with the mythical Liver bird. the attached photo shows one in cast iron at the base of one of the surviving columns near St Anthony of Padua Roman catholic Church.

Derby Lane, Old Swan This is on the fence outside of the "One-Stop-Shop" on Derby Lane. It's a shame that some of the Purple paint has worn off, could have had a complete Liver Bird!

Loved those images Kev, was that at a Town Hall open day or something? Some of those scenes look familiar.

Why didn't I notice they had Liver-birds on em? Tell you what, your the first one! The Liverpool streetlighting community (comprising of 5 approx) talk endlessly about how the vintage streetlighting is so great and not one of them (including me) haven't noticed the liver birds on the bollard.

I think I should have gone to Specsavers!

The Boundary Street and Sefton Street Ramp Liverbirds look like they're cast from the same mould. There are other examples of this casting along the canal.

Hi Kev

Nice Liver Bird pics. Where were they taken, if I might ask, Kev?

Chris

The top one was found just off Church Street, one of those roads that runs through to the other side.

The last one was found in the new Radio Merseyside!

Took these today - don't know how many times I've walked past this and not noticed it - that was until I did see it yesterday!

Its on the corner of Fenwick Street and Moor Street (I think). Obviously its for the Liverpool Union Bank Limited - I know there's a Liver Bird in the centre of the design but are they Liver Birds on the upper freeze?

What do you reckon?

Ah.... I thought I had posted the previous post so that the pictures were embeded in the mail. How do I get them to embed rather than post as attachments?

Greatful for any help...

The pic of the Cunard War Memorial and the Liver building is a classic. I've seen others around, plus my own one. It's one of the best angles to get two Pier Head statues into the same frame.

Kev, the bottom picture - do you know of any other 'monuments' that are just like that? I'm going through a series of old photo's for a friend and I have come up with one in Liverpool which is 99% the same but not in that location!

There's another one at the other entrance to the park. Much taller though and without the coat of arms.

Although I assume that many of the older parks have similar structures at their entrance, can someone confirm or deny?

I can confirm that the marble pillars used in those two entrances came from the inside of St George's Hall.
They were taken out when the organ was installed, and if you look round the interior of the Great Hall, you'll see all the other pillars.

yes it is Everton Library ,it's looking in a very bad shape as most of the roof tiles are on the pavement & there is a strange buzzing noise coming from inside,there was work going on inside before Christmas but that has stopped.

And for the benefit of the forum care to explain why I might have liked the above two pictures?

As well you know, Dave, the bundle of sticks being held together by the two birds is called a fasces. It was historically a symbol of Roman power and authority as well as being later popular with another gang of Rome-based authoritarians, in fact lending their political movement its name.

Where's the pic from, great pic BTW :PDT11

I was just doing a goole on liver birds and there it was on a web site called liverpool monuments. They didn't know where it came from or where the picture was taken either. But they wanted help finding out so I thought I'de ask in here.

I took this photo for one of our challenges on the Yo Liverpool forum to take a picture of a bottle but I may as well post it in this thread as well due to the Liver Birds in the shot. The stoneware ginger beer bottle at left is offset with two cards from Liverpool, one showing the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the other a Christmas card with Liver Bird, a Higson's beer mat with Liver Bird, an old pound note, a wooden box with my Grandad's medals from the First World War and his cap badge from the Lancashire Fusiliers, and an old clay pipe bowl I found in my grandparents' Mossley Hill garden.

It has been converted into flats and restored, however, work seems to have ground to a halt as there has been nothing going on for many weeks.

Knew if I looked hard enough I would find one in amongst my late dads treasure box as he called it >>>>>>>>

Not the best of pics, just took it with my webcam. This one is silver in colour but he had a brass one at one time cos I can remember cleaning it for him with Brasso.

So Is their another fire station nearby then If Garston has a fire?

We have Allerton for our Fires I think.

Thank's Phredd, do you know what they were awarded for? Did he work for the "Corpy" is some capacity?

They were not awarded, they were part of everyday uniform (Tram/bus conductors, catertakers, in fact most people who worked for the the corpy had them. They were worn in the peaked caps.
It was what you would now call 'corparate dress':)

Spotted on the entrance gates off Grant Avenue. Technically these gates are in Toxteth Park !!

Just had a fantastic gift from a person who I completed a website for. They have sent me a copy of a book (which you may all be aware of) called 'The Little Book of Liver Birds' - and shows over 100 places (including photo's and maps) of where they are around liverpool!!

Found some which aren't on this list so far so gonna get me camera out and appear that I know loads of em :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

isbn number for the book is 1-85983-547-3 £9.99 written by David Cottrell.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Book-Liver-Birds/dp/1859835473/ref=sr_1_1/202-5734151-6482254?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178142159&sr=8-1

Spotted on the entrance gates off Grant Avenue. Technically these gates are in Toxteth Park !!

Technically that only applied to when Toxteth was only a park surely? Aren't the books you read as credible as the people the council employ to keep records of there boundary maps?

It's only barley. on the edge of the boundary of the Toxteth.net map anyway so maybe It can be argued It's not In Toxteth.

It says half my street was Toxteth park too but not the half where I live.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

I can see a Liver Bird and a Red Rose but can anyone else shed some light on this.
It is defo a Blazer Badge. At first I thought it was a Cricket Club but now I am not sure. They do not look like cricket bats.

Phredd

Hi Phredd

They look a bit more like swords to me than cricket bats. The red rose would imply Lancashire and the wheatsheaf could be Cheshire or else the Cooperative Wholesale Society (CWS). The badge is certainly intriguing. It might have something to do with the Historical Society of Lancashire and Cheshire whose logo combined the red rose and the wheatsheaf for the two counties and the Liver Bird could be for the Liverpool chapter of the society.

Chris

Thanks Chris.

If you look closer at the centre, either side of the 'C' you can see what appears to be 2 balls. That is what made me think of cricket (or maybe Baseball, but I doubt it)

I was in St Georges today and what a experience its well worth going, Kev this is a large version of the coat of armes you posted, anyone want a very large Pm me with your email address, in the large version some of the details are very interesting.

This coat of arms in on the former Manchester and Liverpool District Bank and it's one of the rare times you see Manchester's and Liverpool's coat of arms alongside each other (also to be seen on the former Exchange Station). Seperating the two is a sovereign of Queen Victoria.
Just next door at No.1 Water Street is another Liver bird, standing almost upright with a very human stance. He's in gold and this used to be the offices of the Liverpool Building Society. I'll try and post a photo if I can work out how to!

Just to add, also on that site is my favourite Liver Bird. Ever wondered what he does on his day off? He and his mate let their hair down and dance to the sound of cherubs playing the horn and cymbols. I think they're so cute!
They're from the former Leyland and Bullins Bank on Castle Street - now RBS.

Can anyone help me ??? I'm trying to get hold of an A4 size copy of the Coat of Arms as used on the Corpy trams and buses. But no success so far. It needs to be A4 so that I can get Vinyl Copies made for whoever wants them.
I tried the Mereyside Transport Trust. But no luck. Also The Crich Tramway Museum , same result. The best so far was a nice young Lass from the City Library who managed to send me an A3 size, but as she had already enlarged it , it wasn't any good for copying as the detail was'nt good enough

You say you tried the Merseyside Transport Trust but have you conferred with forum member MerseysideTransportTrust (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/member.php?u=1321) who uses the Coat of Arms as their logo and may be able to supply it in the size you want or could tell you where to get it? Another suggestion that occurs to me is that maybe you could shoot it yourself off the side of the bus that was on display for the Lord Mayor's Parade (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/showpost.php?p=61485&postcount=10) at St. George's Hall and have it blown up to the size you want.

Finally managed to attach some more Livers. Think the files were too big but working now I've shrunk them. Still haven't worked out how to get them into the body of the mail though.

Hi Taffy

Do you know if those birds are definitely supposed to be Liver Birds? They look more like cranes to me. Compare this image of sculpted cranes (http://www.aspencountry.com/aspen/assets/product_images/product_lib/37000-37999/37513.jpg) with what you show in your photo.

They could be cranes but I prefer the mystical Liver Bird which has a metamorphic shape to suit all tastes. Wasn't the original Liver bird an eagle. The museum attendant thought it was a Liver bird too.

I don't thnk they're supposed to be Liver Birds simply because there's nothing in the beaks.

Thanks for the photo, because I've got a lampshade like that.
Mine is Edwardian, and made by Holophane, and was rescued from Irwins in Southport when they converted into a Tesco 'self-service' shop in 1961.

It's on a building down a side-street, on the corner with Prescot Road. It's on the left-hand side if heading back into Liverpool...I was around there recently but it was raining so I didn't take any pics. I'm not sure if it's Stanley or Old Swan at this point.

:handclap::handclap:
Yes, it's almost opposite Cheadle Avenue, but I don't know where the boundary is for Stanley.

This is the rather neat and classy logo for Liverpool Entente Cordiale Tours (http://www.geocities.com/liverpool08guide/index.htm) who will be taking visitors and Scousers on some neat walking tours of Liverpool in July and August. The tours are offered in English and French and, thus, naturellement, Pierre Liver Bird's Gallic beret, oui, oui? Is that some of zee frog's legs I see in Pierre's mouth!!!???? :PDT_Xtremez_42:

Chris

Yep, I am the proud owner of my very own liver bird. Having some leaflets and business cards printed and was persuaded also to fork out for a logo which I now own and can use on all my promotional stuff. Glad you like it - makes it worth splashing out.
Afraid just plain old lava in his mouth but frogs legs would have been a good idea. Although might have been boycotted by vegetarians!

Well almost. The statue on top of the Walker Art Gallery at the moment is a copy. The original is at the Conservation centre.

Never knew that, cheers for the info.

Here's the original

Thanks again Taffy. I wonder what they'll do with the copy when they've completed the restoration? Would look great in my back garden!:PDT11

Yes I'm sure it would !!! The original will stay at the Conservation Centre I believe. Same I also think for the statue of Eros taken from Sefton Park.

There are 4 birds visible at the junction of Ullet Road/Aigburth Drive. Two on the shields of the gold soldiers on the Lodge (which has recently been refurbished, and I think extended aswell). There are two birds on the Sefton Park entrance gate but one has had its' neck broken.

One of the gold soldiers.

This pic shows what the neck, of the above bird, should look like.

Hi Folks

Wonderful photographs and information here, everybody! :handclap:

Taffy and Kev, in regard to the statue with Liver Bird on the top of the Walker Art Gallery the eroded original of which you, Taff, showed is now in the Liverpool Conservation Centre, there is a similar situation here in Baltimore in regard to the Battle Monument built 1815-1822, commemorating the British attack of 1814 and the American dead in the battle. I was part of an effort to restore the monument but the eroded original is still there. I was told though by one of the conservators that the original should be in a museum and that it is time to put up a replica. Below is a nineteenth century view of the monument. A recent view (http://www.ce.jhu.edu/baltimorestructures/Battle%20Monument/IMG%20038.jpg) shows some of the damage (beaks of griffons missing, cracks etc.)

All the best

Chris

That's a nice one, Kev. I had not seen it before. Excellent work! :handclap:

Not sure how old this Garston lampost is but it has a nice Liverbird. Sited at junction of Island Rd and Clarendon Rd.

On Water St Frontage. Interesting juxtaposition of the Liverbird and the grasshopper. The latter being the symbol of Martins Bank

Hi Taffy
That's the former Martin's bank - it's got their symbol of a grasshopper on it too. The whole building is looking good after its recent clean.

Yes I know. Just added an edit about the grasshopper as you were writing your message !!

Great minds think alike (or fools seldom differ:)
