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

MissInformed · 11-26-2006

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

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!

These advertising hoardings include Liverbirds in the metalwork.
The first 2 pics are at the junction of Athol st/Stanley rd. (note pub has now gone)

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

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.

Found this example of the original Liverpool Coat of Arms. I'm interested to find more......

Location - Sefton Park entrance:

**A.D.W** · 12-28-2006

Coats of Arms over the Sherlocks Club on the Dock Road.

**Kev** · 12-28-2006

Stone Liverbird near the roof at Sullivan's Bar, Aigburth Vale.

**marky** · 12-28-2006

Sefton Park bridge, near Ibbotsons Lane. I've seen a few of these boxes that don't have the crest.

Excellent pics chaps

...

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.

**snappel** · 12-31-2006

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...

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.
