Oriel Chambers is one of the most important buildings ever designed,without it there would be no skyscrapers.This building revolutionised how we work in an office and this building is one of the most historically important in the UK and indeed the World as it is the first modern building.
The longest peal on the bells at Liverpool Cathedral took place yesterday which was 5 hours (none stop).

In 1925 the headmaster of the Liverpool Institute,Rev.H H Symonds started
a school camp in a disused church hall in Borrowdale in the Lake District.
Some boys walked from Liverpool,some cycled and some came by train.They slept on first world war stretchers which they folded in the daytime. Rev.Symonds went on to open the first youth hostel in the country at Loggerheads with the help of the Holt family of the Alfred Holt Shipping Line. I visited the site of the Borrowdale camp this year all that
remains is a small iron gate and the concrete base which is nearly grassed over.
