I tried going up once. I got out the first lift and those tiny corridors, well I swear I felt the building move so I went down asap My

mates said I wouldn't have enjoyed the 7 flights of stairs in the dark tower, and no I wouldn't have. Maybe one day I'll brave it

Glad you enjoyed my website! I took all the video's up there on a special day

when you're given the rare opportunity to look around the bells while they are ringing. It is a very dangerous thing to do - clappers from the bells have

been known to fly off before now and one embedded itself in the workman's hut that used to be there!

I've been up church towers since I was about 6

months old and used to the sound of them but we did a sound measurement a few years back. Ringing chamber came to about 70db and all the 12 bells at full

chat got it up to about 110db. I think you can start to damage your hearing at about 120db but anything more than a few mins up there and it's like being in

a nightclub all night! An utterly fantastic sound they make, but very poor accoustics outside the tower make them sound like a fart in a gale. Great George

(the 14 ton bell) that is hung dead (fixed and doesn't move) is hit by a clapper on the inside - the clapper alone is around 1 ton and it makes an amazing

sound. On a foggy day outside, you can actually see the fog around the tower move!

Is it also true that when you get out of the first lift to cross to the second that there is a hole that

looks downwards from the roof?

In the early 1970s, the view of Everton was fantastic. It was full of high rises on the hill and looked like a

mini Manhatten. Literally. I have seen no photos from the top from that period.

Page 53 of my book 2 has a pic with 19 of these high rise up on the Netherfield road area but it's an aerial view from around by the Municipal, not from the Cathedral.

Nice pics Kev. Looks like they were taken from the car park by the Paradise Development.

^^Cheers^^ - yep I was at the top of the car park, some nice views there despite their attempt to stop photography, or maybe I'm just not tall enough
