Great pic Tone but how do you feel about dipping your custard creams in a big steaming mug of Fish Tea?

How the Lutyens-designed Catholic cathedral would have looked.

Like a Mosque?

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Bloody Muslamics, coming over here, designing big cathedrals!

Like a Mosque?

More orthodox than mosque.

 

Domes are part of many ancient cathedrals the most famous one being the one in Istanbul that is now a mosque.

 

Incidentally if that was ever built it would have been bigger that st Peter's in Rome. The reason it wasn't completed (it was started you can see the brickwork at the current cathedral) was because the funding disappeared once WW2 kicked off.

The model in the Museum of Liverpool is well worth a look.

Seen it it would have been a very impressive building if built.

Whereabouts is that ?

Customs House is where L1 is now as per PDs' picture above. There's loads of photos on Google about it, and looks like a building that rivaled St Georges Hall in stature.

It was bomb damaged in the war so the City Council decided to knock it all down rather than repair it, and yet another iconic, magnificent building was lost.

 

If anyone is interested you can see the rubble from it on Crosby beach, along with the remains of other buildings. They were plonked there to protect the sand dunes, I think.

My grandad used to work at Albert Dock and his first name was Albert......
