Thanks, Kev. Good to see the Liver Bird is not totally forgotten on some new buildings! :celb (23):

The only difference I see In better lens Is the zoom when the bigger lensed cameras can zoom In further with better results.Quote:

Lovely, Kev, but where are they?
I want to snap the last one.

Isn't the Fiat Lux a car? :)
The first two are around the Liverpool University Campus in Town, the 3rd and part of a larger mural, is located inside the Royal Liverpool Hospital's main foyer.Quote:

Although I assume that many of the older parks have similar structures at their entrance, can someone confirm or deny?
I can confirm that the marble pillars used in those two entrances came from the inside of St George's Hall.Quote:

That's a cracking piece of info Philip!!Quote:

A couple of Liverbirds found inside the Masonic Hall on Hope Street. Took these yesterday.
Seen on a modern sign at the pierhead
I was in Noctorum (near Birkenhead) and saw some modern(ish) iron driveway gates with a Liver Bird on them. Sadly I didnt get an image as the owners were at home and I didn't fancy explaining why I was taking images of their gate!

The one that's closed.
Hi Phillip
yes it is Everton Library ,it's looking in a very bad shape as most of the roof tiles are on the pavement & there is a strange buzzing noise coming from inside,there was work going on inside before Christmas but that has stopped.

^^Knew you'd like those ones, AD. ;)
And for the benefit of the forum care to explain why I might have liked the above two pictures?Quote:

Oh my! We have 'fascist' symbols in Liverpool! Outrageous!Quote:

I took this photo for one of our challenges on the Yo Liverpool forum to take a picture of a bottle but I may as well post it in this thread as well due to the Liver Birds in the shot. The stoneware ginger beer bottle at left is offset with two cards from Liverpool, one showing the Roman Catholic Cathedral, the other a Christmas card with Liver Bird, a Higson's beer mat with Liver Bird, an old pound note, a wooden box with my Grandad's medals from the First World War and his cap badge from the Lancashire Fusiliers, and an old clay pipe bowl I found in my grandparents' Mossley Hill garden.

Is the Banks Rd one still being used?
Would be a nice photo If It's painted too.:PDT_Piratz_26:
It has been converted into flats and restored, however, work seems to have ground to a halt as there has been nothing going on for many weeks.Quote:
