THE AGE OF MODERNISM

With a spare Cathedral to share this usual shape was not the originally design and in fact the plans were not dissimilar from the Anglican Cathedral. What makes this Cathedral so special is how it departs away from the Neoclassical style. From the ashes of World War Two a new brave world was emerging and for me this represents Liverpool future aspirations. This Gothic revival with a modern twist was commenced in 1962 and completed within five years. Also the tall stained glass tower is truly illuminating once you’re inside.
