EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, EPW003065 from the Historic England Archive, offers a breathtaking aerial view of the River Mersey in Liverpool during the 1920s. The image showcases a bustling waterfront teeming with vessels of all sizes, each plying their trade on the river. At the heart of the scene lies the iconic Pier Head, where the legendary "Three Graces" stand proudly. The Three Graces, consisting of the Royal Liver Building (completed in 1911), the Cunard Building (completed in 1916), and the Port of Liverpool Building (completed in 1907), are an essential part of Liverpool's rich maritime history. The Royal Liver Building, with its two clock towers crowned by mythical Liver Birds, is a testament to the city's maritime heritage and resilience. The Cunard Building, a symbol of Liverpool's connection to the transatlantic liner service, adds to the grandeur of the waterfront. Lastly, the Port of Liverpool Building, completed in 1907, represents the city's commitment to international trade and commerce. The landing stage at Pier Head played a significant role in Liverpool's maritime past, serving as a hub for the transatlantic liner service. This photograph offers a glimpse into the city's vibrant history, showcasing the beauty and importance of the River Mersey and its iconic Three Graces.
