"The superbly restored Royal Albert Dock was the first such facility in Britain to be built using only bricks and iron. At its heart is an impressive five-story-high block of buildings surrounding the harbor basin where cotton, tobacco, and sugar were once unloaded. These enormous Victorian structures are built around an arcaded walkway, their cast Tuscan columns once serving as capstans for moored ships."

"When you visit Liverpool, it’s basically a mandatory stop that you head down to the waterfront to explore the Royal Albert Dock. The Dock is a true hub in Liverpool that dates back quite a ways. This historic dockland was first opened in 1846 and was one of the first in Britain to be built of cast iron, brick, and stone – and not wood."

"Liverpool Cathedral is a building of superlatives; it is Britain’s largest cathedral and features the world’s highest and widest Gothic arches, highest and heaviest peal of bells and the UK’s highest cathedral tower and largest organ.

"This is one of the great buildings of the world... The impression of vastness, strength and height no words can describe...

"Although there has been a parish church building on this site since the late Anglo Saxon or Early Norman period, the cathedral we see today looks nothing like the building that would have stood there all those years ago. The cathedral has been modified over the years after structural damage caused by the Civil War, damage caused by a German bomb during the Manchester Blitz in the second World War and further damage caused by the IRA bomb of 1996. In the thirteenth century a stone parish church was constructed in the parish that was to become Manchester, serving people in a 60 mile radius."

"Standing proud since 1421 when Henry V signed a royal charter granting permission for a collegiate church to be built, the iconic Manchester Cathedral has survived world wars, bombings and the industrial revolution first hand.

If you want to learn more about the building there are guided tours every day at 11 am and 2 pm Monday to Saturday."

"As industrial as the city may be, even Manchester needs a few beautiful churches. Possibly the most impressive of them all is Manchester Cathedral. Over five hundred years old, the building is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside."

"You might find one cathedral that is worth visiting on your travels around different cities, but how often do you find two world class cathedrals?. Either end of Hope Street, the Anglican Cathedral and Metropolitan Cathedral are stunning examples of architecture and dominate the city skyline. The Anglican is the fifth largest cathedral in the world and is an amazing place to walk around and inside, with so much detail and regular events."

Opened in 1911 as the home of the Royal Liver Assurance – and arguably the city’s most famous landmark – the building was Britain’s first major construction and one of the first in the world to be built using reinforced concrete. Two fabled Liver Birds perch upon the building’s two clock towers; with legend stating that if these two birds were to fly away then Liverpool would cease to exist."
