Good photos Gerard
'Paddy's wigwam' must be an Anfield thing - a few people around here call it that.
My step dad always calls it Paddy's wigwam, and I often say it too.

Hi Lindy
Not sure it's an Anfield term. I heard the nickname starting in the Sixties when the Cathedral was first built, and I lived in Mossley Hill and went to school in Allerton. I think it was a fond name Liverpudlians gave the new building based on the unusual look of the architecture.
All the best

Paddy's Wigwam. We called it that and we lived in Gateacre. My nan called it that and she lived in the Dingle.
BE NICE......................OR ELSE
It was being called Paddie`s wigwam while it was being built. The construction looked the same as the way Indian wigwams were built,8 or so poles tied at the top then clad in skins.

have been called 'Paddys Wigwam' in certain parts of Liverpool... or wherever..
I hope its OK if I just thank you individually for any future comments by me clicking
