EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of Liverpool's iconic waterfront, specifically the Three Graces: the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building, and Port of Liverpool Building. Taken from Birkenhead across the River Mersey, the image offers a unique perspective of these architectural marvels, each with its distinct character and history. The Royal Liver Building, completed in 1911, is crowned by two clock towers, each adorned with mythical Liver Birds, symbols of the city's maritime heritage. The Cunard Building, completed in 1916, stands proudly next to its sister structures, its elegant design a testament to the city's rich history in shipping and ocean travel. Lastly, the Port of Liverpool Building, completed in 1907, adds a touch of Gothic Revival architecture to the scene, with its intricate details and ornate facade. These buildings, collectively known as the Three Graces, have long been synonymous with Liverpool's identity and have graced the city's skyline for over a century. This photograph by Peter Williams, captured by Historic England, not only showcases their architectural brilliance but also highlights their harmony as they stand together, reflecting in the tranquil waters of the River Mersey. The urban landscape, dotted with boats and ships, adds to the scene's charm, making it a must-see for both locals and visitors alike.
