Anniversaries are coming thick and fast at the moment, and another famous structure celebrates a milestone today.
When first built, people complained that it was ugly, blocked the river view and was not in keeping with the older buildings around it. A century later, it’s now impossible to imagine Liverpool without it. It is a landmark instantly recognisable nationwide and around the world; a building which in many ways is the public face of the city.
On behalf of picture postcard manufacturers everywhere, happy 100th anniversary to the Royal Liver Building!
