This was my attempt a couple of years ago:

**corky100** · 01-14-2008

A few I took from inside the bell tower, and from its roof. Can I post these here?

These were taken on a Mobile phone, which I'm very pleased about!

**Norm NZ** · 01-14-2008

Nice Pics! Corky, Can't believe that that part of Liverpool could look so good!! Changed a lot since I last saw it!

**lindylou** · 01-14-2008

I was there yesterday. Went to see the Anne Frank exhibition.
Didn't take any more photos tho' as my camera isn't good in dim light conditions.

here's me looking pensive!

Steven · 01-14-2008

Superb - I was there with Molly and Gerry a few weeks ago and they loved it. Thanks for sharing the pickies.

**molly** · 01-14-2008

As Steven said we where there a week ago and it was amazing. Definately had the WOW factor.

nice photees you guys, like the one inside the bell tower, it,s a cracker. Quite spooky in there isn,t it Corky?

**shoney** · 01-14-2008

quite surprised at the greeness around the cathedral, I never remembered it like quite likethis although there were gardens, has it been developed within the last 20 years, a lot of the buildings around do look new, it looks nice, the last memory I have of the cathedral is driving along the street in front of it one evening on my way to the liverpool marina on a trip back with my brother, and waiting to turn right into parliament street, and being asked by a prostitute if we wanted any business, it is a lovely place though,

Its more the sense of Vertigo than the Spookiness that got me!

A little bit of information on the Bells:

Cast in 1966 by Mears & Stainbank, the 4 bells are swung by a chain driven motor but can also be chimed by a rope on special occasions.

"Matthew" - its weight at 91cwt 2qrt 6lbs (over 10cwt heavier than the heaviest ringing bell at Liverpool Cathedral).

The view below of Matthew showing the top of the 6ft red door for comparison.

**Ged** · 05-09-2008

Did you see the pic of the bell close up and then being lifted into position Cad?

**gregs dad** · 05-09-2008

I think you have this old one of mine on your site Ged

I did lad. I'm surprised there wasn't another rope at ground level as 4 tons of metal when it starts to swing...

**corky100** · 07-05-2008

Visited the Anglican again today...

And the nearby .....

**Ged** · 07-06-2008

Nice pics Corky100. That Anglican sure is a beast and i'm glad it ended up with one central tower rather than the 2 originally planned which incidentally is in a painting in the walker art gallery that was completed using the architects plans.
