EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Liverpool's architectural history, as Bishop Frederick Gibberd and the Most Reverend John Carmel Heenan, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool, examine the model for the new Metropolitan Cathedral. The image, taken in 1961, documents the collaboration between the two men as they worked to bring Gibberd's innovative design to life, replacing the original plans by Edwin Lutyens due to the financial strain caused by the First World War. Gibberd's design for the Metropolitan Cathedral, affectionately nicknamed "Paddy's Wigwam" by local residents, was a bold departure from traditional Gothic cathedral architecture. The building, which opened in 1967, has since become one of Liverpool's most famous and cherished landmarks. Its unique and modernist design, featuring a striking flying buttress and a bold, open cruciform plan, reflects the changing cultural and architectural landscape of the 1960s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the creative process behind the construction of this iconic building, as well as the collaboration between the architect and the religious leader who brought it to fruition. Gibberd's vision for the Metropolitan Cathedral was not without controversy, but it has endured as a symbol of Liverpool's resilience and its commitment to progress. This image serves as a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in shaping the built environment and the enduring impact of architecture on our communities.
