The built environment of Liverpool (over 2,500 listed buildings) is
the inheritance of high-minded public spirit since the later 18th
century, largely with Dissenter impetus, that has resulted in more
public sculpture than in any UK city aside from Westminster, more
listed buildings than any city apart from London and, surprisingly,
more Georgian houses than the City of Bath.
Amongst its
superlatives: Liverpool has the largest panel of stained glass in
the world (in Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral), the largest brick
building in the world, and the first enclosed integrated dock system
in the world. The Anglican Cathedral has the longest nave, largest
organ and heaviest and highest peal of bells in the world.
Architects well represented in Liverpool: Giles Gilbert Scott, Peter
Ellis, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, and John Foster. Sir Edwin Lutyens is
represented by the completed crypt of his projected Metropolitan
Cathedral, which was built to a simpler design by Frederick Gibberd. |
