EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Aerofilms in 1920, offers a breathtaking aerial view of Liverpool's Pier Head, showcasing the iconic "Three Graces" that once graced the Merseyside waterfront. The Royal Liver Building, with its two clock towers proudly crowned by mythical Liver Birds, was completed in 1911 and served as a symbol of the city's maritime heritage. The Cunard Building, a majestic structure that was finished in 1916, played a significant role in the city's connection to the transatlantic liner service. Lastly, the Port of Liverpool Building, completed in 1907, stands tall and imposing, reflecting the city's industrial prowess and ambition. The landing stage at Pier Head, visible in the foreground, was a bustling hub of activity, serving as the gateway for passengers embarking on voyages across the Atlantic. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into Liverpool's rich history, offering a unique perspective of the city's architectural beauty and its connection to the sea.
