Liverpool last day

Anglican and Metropolitan Cathedrals today. Am ashamed to say I visited neither while I was a student and after today I'm doubley ashamed because they are both stunning pieces of art, architecture and culture in their own right. Both built in the last century and completed within a decade or so of each other but completely different in style. The Metropolitan is known locally as the shuttlecock for reasons you can't really fathom from the picture below but if you saw it from a distance you'd understand.

Metropolitan Cathedral

Sad to be leaving tomorrow morning as it's been a fantastic few days despite the bitter cold. Have walk past some old haunts but much has changed in the city and it's heartening to see it on the way up again.
