Royal Albert Dock Liverpool
Highlight • Historical Site
At the time of its construction, the dock was considered revolutionary in its design, as ships were loaded and unloaded directly to or from the warehouses. Two years after its opening, it was remodeled and equipped with the world's first hydraulic cranes. [3] Due to its open yet secure design, the dock became a popular storage facility for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite its advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology led to the need for larger and more open docks within 50 years, although Albert Dock remained a valuable cargo storage location (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Albert_Dock ,_Liverpool).

Liverpool Cathedral
Highlight • Historical Site
The large west window makes you pause in amazement before you start to wonder why there is a large and at least a small model of the well-known red telephone booth in the church:
In 1903 the Church of England held an architectural competition for church building. The design by 23-year-old student Giles Gilbert Scott won an award. Scott, who came from a renowned family of architects, later designed the red British telephone booths.
