Liverpool Capital of Culture Tour

In this short series I would like to share with you some of Liverpool's most famous monuments and memorials, and there locations. Hopefully this will prove a useful guide on your visit to the city

A popular meeting place for people, and pigeons, is this most intriguing landmark in Liverpool city centre, The Great Escape, pictured above

Obviously nothing to do with Steve McQueen and flying motor bikes, this creation is the work of artist Edward Cronshaw and weighs in at over three tons!

A short walk up Church Street and you’ll find these two fine gentlemen, Sir John Moores 1862 – 1993 and Mr Cecil Moores 1902 – 1989 – the empty whiskey bottle was not, of course, part of the original art work
