Interesting Liverbird carved in the marble fireplace of the Grand Jury Room. I was interested to find this room as I recently discovered a relative was foreman of a Liverpool Grand Jury in the late 1840s.
a small one on a building in Grecian Terrace
well spotted!
I walk past it almost every day but never noticed it until today :rolleyes:

Possibly built by the Council as a local clinic and hence the Liverpool City badge and Liverbird. It's a shame no modern buildings seem to bear the Liverbird. I've always seen the bird as a symbol of Liverpool's self confidence.Quote:

I think I may have found one of the smallest Liverbirds...so small, that my camera couldn't focus on it. On the 4th floor of the Maritime museum, in a glass case, is a piece of International Garden Festival jewellery with a Liverbird on it. I'm bound to go there again to snap some tall ships (unless someone manages to photograph it first)
