The Anglican Cathedral or officially The Liverpool Cathedral Church of Christ. It is the largest Anglican church and the fifth largest cathedral in the world, it is twice the size of St. Paul's London. The Anglican cathedral is one of two cathedrals in the city. The other, the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Liverpool, is situated approximately half a mile to the north. The cathedrals are linked by Hope Street from where this photograph was taken.
Built on St James' Mount near the centre of the city of Liverpool, the Cathedral can be seen from as far away as North Wales. It is the seat of the Bishop of Liverpool.

The foundation stone was laid in July 1904 by Kind Edward VII, it was consecrated in July 1924 in the presence of King George V and Queen Mary. On October 25th, 1978, some 74 years later, a service attended by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was held to mark its completion.

The architect was Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (Knighted in 1924), the 21 year old's design was accepted in open competition despite the fact that he had no previous buildings to his credit, he died in 1960 so never saw the Cathedral completed. The competition attracted over 100 entries including designs from noted architects such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Charles Herbert Reilly. Sir Giles was also the architect for the old style Telephone box.
