| Architects throughout the world were invited in 1960 to design a Cathedral for Liverpool which would relate to the existing Crypt, be capable of construction within five years, cost at the current prices no more than one million pounds for its shell, and most important of all, express the new spirit of the liturgy then being radically reformulated by the Second Vatican Council.
Of 300 entries from all over the world, Sir Frederick Gibberd’s (1908-1984) design was chosen, and building began in October 1962. Less than five years later, on the Feast of Pentecost, 14 May 1967, the completed Cathedral was consecrated. |

| The Cavern Club Mathew Street, Liverpool. One of the most famous clubs in the world, the Cavern Club was home to the Beatles for over 300 performances. The original Cavern Club was demolished in the early 1970s due to work taking place on the underground rail system. The Cavern Club you see today is a reconstructed version, built using the original bricks. |
