Wonderbar Klaatu,
Nice piccy, I remember the original photo, great.
Glad to see we,re back in the top ten with the organ pipes. Been up to the console with Prof Ian once, very breathtaking.
Excellent picture Klaatu. :handclap:
I'm sure posters would sell.
Can I ask Klaatu, is it an offset Litho print ? It's lovely whatever you have done.:handclap:Quote:

thanks Lindylou...
I haven't had them printed properly at all yet steven...The only prints I've had are laser prints, which are OK but not top quality.
Would you mind if I share them with relatives and friends who live abroad?. All credits to you of course.

That's a great pic...but for those who haven't been there...You don't get the sense of scale!
I don't know how you would do that!
If you were to stand next to the heaviest bell, you'd come up to it like this - so looking down at the largest bell top left of the picture above, that's the same one.Quote:

How did you manage to take that great pic?...I thought the public weren't allowed near the bells.
I'm one of those noisy bellringers found in church towers across Liverpool. This was during inspection at some point a couple of years ago.Quote:

I've always been puzzled by the term "Anglican" in the local name for Liverpool Cathedral. I don't know of any other Church of England Cathedral similarly named by the locals. The cathedral itself of course simply calls itself Liverpool Cathedral with no "Anglican" in sight

Anglican means "of the Church of England", and is used to differentiate from the RC Cathedral which is known as the "Metropolitan".Quote:

Curiously, that link you provide doesn't seem to mention the words "Church of England" either. :shock:
Or, if it does, it's not obvious.
It's not the two Cathedrals which impress me but the fact that they are joined up by a street called 'Hope.'
my son took this photo.
It's not bad considering it was taken in dim lighting conditions and with his mobile phone.

Whether it's the biggest cathedral or has the biggest bells or whatever - it's such a magnificent building, and especially when you get late afternoon winter sunshine on it. I love the way it's so prominent - I like going to somewhere overlooking Merseyside from a distance, like Helsby Hill, and still seeing it rising above everything else. I remember a few months back when little Rhys Jones's funeral service was there, I was quite moved looking up at it from the river at the time of the service. What a fabulous place.
Anglican doesn't mean "Church of England" in the Church in Wales or indeed elsewhere in the world.Quote:

The Liverpool A to Z map from the early 1990s use to label Liverpool Cathedral the C of E Cathedral. These days its the Anglican Cathedral.
If it's the Metropolitan cathedral in Liverpool why isn't it called the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral.
I wonder what happens in Armagh where they have two Metropolitan Cathedrals.
Taffy, I'll let you tell me.Quote:

It is taken as red that the Metropolitan, designed by a Protestant is Catholic and the Anglican, designed by a Catholic is Protestant as also seen in Warlock and Shepherds time here.
That's a very impressive photo if taken from a mobile. The interior of the Cathedral is so difficult to photograph as it's very dark and a flash doesn't help at all. I always pity people walking around with very small cameras as you know their prints are going to turn out really bad.Quote:

It's not often you're wrong Ged but you're right again. It's an excellent photo. Only last week, I stood in the same spot with Molly and Gerry from Ireland. I told them that when I start to feel 'too big for me boots.' this is where I come to stand for a while. It brings me down to size.Quote:
