Liverbirds and Liverpool Coat of Arms Pictures

[theninesisters]

I can confirm that the marble pillars used in those two entrances came from the inside of St George's Hall.
They were taken out when the organ was installed, and if you look round the interior of the Great Hall, you'll see all the other pillars.

That's a cracking piece of info Philip!!

The claim to fame that Childwall has is that the choir stalls were the original set which were taken out of the Lady Chapel in Liverpool Cathedral.

A couple of Liverbirds found inside the Masonic Hall on Hope Street. Took these yesterday.

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!

Liverbirds on St Domingo Library

Very nice, indeed.
Is this the Everton Library?
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.

And for the benefit of the forum care to explain why I might have liked the above two pictures?

As well you know, Dave, the bundle of sticks being held together by the two birds is called a fasces. It was historically a symbol of Roman power and authority as well as being later popular with another gang of Rome-based authoritarians, in fact lending their political movement its name.

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

Thank you for the explanation, sausage, you wrote that beautifully.
