Liverbirds and Liverpool Coat of Arms Pictures

If you're in Liverpool.
Try the offices in Hatton Garden or the Central Library.

Interesting variation on the Liver bird. In this case as a hanging lamp holder

Hi Taffy

Do you know if those birds are definitely supposed to be Liver Birds? They look more like cranes to me. Compare this image of sculpted cranes with what you show in your photo.

They could be cranes but I prefer the mystical Liver Bird which has a metamorphic shape to suit all tastes. Wasn't the original Liver bird an eagle. The museum attendant thought it was a Liver bird too.

[PhilipG]

I don't thnk they're supposed to be Liver Birds simply because there's nothing in the beaks.

Thanks for the photo, because I've got a lampshade like that.
Mine is Edwardian, and made by Holophane, and was rescued from Irwins in Southport when they converted into a Tesco 'self-service' shop in 1961.

It's between Hamilton Square and Woodside Ferry in Birkenhead.

It's on a building down a side-street, on the corner with Prescot Road. It's on the left-hand side if heading back into Liverpool...I was around there recently but it was raining so I didn't take any pics. I'm not sure if it's Stanley or Old Swan at this point.

Yes, it's almost opposite Cheadle Avenue, but I don't know where the boundary is for Stanley.

This is the rather neat and classy logo for Liverpool Entente Cordiale Tours who will be taking visitors and Scousers on some neat walking tours of Liverpool in July and August. The tours are offered in English and French and, thus, naturellement, Pierre Liver Bird's Gallic beret, oui, oui? Is that some of zee frog's legs I see in Pierre's mouth!!!????

Yep, I am the proud owner of my very own liver bird. Having some leaflets and business cards printed and was persuaded also to fork out for a logo which I now own and can use on all my promotional stuff. Glad you like it - makes it worth splashing out.
Afraid just plain old lava in his mouth but frogs legs would have been a good idea. Although might have been boycotted by vegetarians!
