Liverpool, Merseyside - a photo on Flickriver

Pier Head

Royal Liver Building (Detail)
by Walter Aubrey Thomas
1911

Reception Hall Mural.

One of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront.

The Three Graces are the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building.

The Royal Liver Building is the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which was set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative.

The Royal Liver Building stands at 295 ft tall. It was the tallest storied building in Europe from completion until 1932 and the tallest in the United Kingdom until 1961. The Royal Liver Building is now however only the joint-fourth tallest structure in the City of Liverpool, having been overtaken in height by West Tower, Radio City Tower and Liverpool Cathedral.

Today the Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Liver Birds that watch over the city and the sea. Legend has it that were these two birds to fly away, then the city would cease to exist.

Grade I Listed.
