The Liver Building, with the iconic Liver Birds on the tops of its towers.
In the background here we see Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.
A final parting shot of today's modern vibrant city of Liverpool from the air.
The tall spindly tower in the foreground towards the left hand side of the picture is St.James' Tower, the centrepiece of the 1960's St. James Centre shopping mall. The ring at the top of the 400 feet high tower was originally a restaurant, which revolved full circle while you ate dinner with a panoramic view of the city; I recall having a meal there in 1981 - nowadays it is a radio station. Behind and slightly to the right of it the large cylindrical building is the modern Roman Catholic Cathedral, built to replace the original one destroyed by German bombing druring World War II.
