A few I spotted recently
There’s a rather nice showcase in the New Museum on the theme of the origin of the Liver Birds, wherein each of the various birds pictured stakes its claim to be the true Liver Bird…
Then there’s this one… Can anyone tell us where this was originally? I think I know, but can’t guarantee the authenticity of my information…
Cad says....'Watch this space' on Liver Birds...
My guess would be the Sailors Home, Cad. Do I get a prize?
Cheers

Dunno where Cad's gone, but someone on another web forum has confirmed my belief that, yes, it was over the main doorway of the Sailors' Home. According to the Chester Walls website, which has a lot of info on the Sailors' Home, the Liver Bird was rescued and restored... but to where, I ask myself?
Ah - my post is simply to say to watch this space about a newly found Liver Bird that I have come across and that it should be in the Echo this week....
In the meantime, anyone know where this came from??
That's had more than a few coats of paint! No idea where it's from though,but maybe a school building?
Above the doorway of the Liverpool Union Bank in Brunswick Street
On the side of the same building in Fenwick Street
Coat of Arms and Liverbird above the doorway of the Municipal Annexe
Quite impressive ones on the building itself, I think there are eight
The Municipal Building itself only has ones without laver
Except for the little 'un on the doorbell!
