Inside we were greeted by an organ concert and great open space. A lot of space. Designed to be one of the largest cathedrals of Britain , this church is of gigantic proportions. We walked around and the music drew me in. The pipes were bellowing their sounds and the acoustic of this church amplified the rich tones.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice little chapel, the Lady Chapel which had much more of an old feel to the space than the gigantic more modern church. From the balcony, we had a lovely view down on the chapel. I made an inquiry to the costs and details to climb the tower of the cathedral of Liverpool. We took the elevator to the highest part of the tower and from there started to climb the steps upwards. We landed at the interior ring of the tower of the Cathedral of Liverpool.
What a view! The tower even has its own hashtag tweetfromthetower. Go check it out or tweet your tower selfies if you like! Of course, I did it too. Why not follow me on twitter?

From here, we could see the other cathedral of Liverpool and seeing it was so close, we decided to go check it out. We followed the signs and were soon walking in Hope Street. In the middle of the street, we found some nice suitcases stacked on display and took some pictures.
We encountered more colourful lambananas and continued to the half-way point of Hope Street. We saw 2 pieces of art and checked them out. After reading what the sign said, we discovered these were the bishops of both the cathedrals of Liverpool. They were placed here, in the middle of Hope Street, to symbolize the effort and hope of the 2 different Cathedrals of Liverpool to meet each other half way and live side by side.
I thought this was such a nice gesture. Although I initially thought, Hope Street was named after having Hope and Faith, linking the two Cathedrals of Liverpool together, it is not. The street was named after a gentleman called William Hope, who was a merchant and lived in the street long before both cathedrals of Liverpool were built. Liverpool is blessed with two cathedrals — one Catholic, one Anglican — and as well as contrasting in styles, they are both unique in other ways. Enjoy a personal guided tour of both with your local guide.
The Anglican Cathedral — known as Liverpool Cathedral — may at first be mistaken for a medieval Gothic masterpiece, but like its Catholic counterpart, it is firmly of the twentieth century and took 74 years to build. It holds many world records: highest Gothic arches in the world, highest and heaviest peal of bells, largest organ in the world, largest cathedral in Britain, the fifth largest cathedral in the world.
The scale of this 20th-century building may best be appreciated by visiting it.
