Liverpool: Liver Building

8206-09-16.jpg
Probably the most photographed and well known building in Liverpool. It is located at Pier Head. It was built in 1911 for the Royal Liver Friendly Society.

A statue of a Liver Bird spreading its wings from the top of each clock tower enhances the glory of the building and its impressive features. The Liver Bird, the official mascot of Liverpool is a cormorant (seaweed bird) which in bygone times could often be seen flying alongside the Mersey River with seaweed in their beaks. The Royal Liver Building is still the Head Office for the Royal Liver Friendly Society. 82060916
