“Liverpool Resurgent”, 40 Ranelagh Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England UK
Liverpool Resurgent is an artwork by Jacob Epstein, mounted above the main entrance to the former Lewis’s department store building in Ranelagh Street, Liverpool. It comprises a large bronze statue and three relief panels.
The current Lewis’s Building was constructed for Lewis’s in 1947 to replace the building that had been destroyed by bombing in the Second World War.
The main 18 feet (5.5 m) high bronze statue stands on the portico above the entrance. It depicts a naked man standing on a plinth shaped like the prow of a ship projecting from the façade of the building, with left arm stretched out and right arm raised as if calling or signalling. It symbolises Liverpool’s resurgence following the war, but it is nicknamed locally as either “Nobby Lewis” or “Dickie Lewis”.
The work was unveiled on 20 November 1956 to celebrate the centenary of Lewis’s and the completion of its reconstruction works. The statue became known as a meeting place.

Princes Road Synagogue, Princes Road, Toxteth, Liverpool, Merseyside, England UK
Princes Road Synagogue came into existence when the Jewish community in Liverpool in the late 1860s decided to build a new synagogue, reflecting the status and wealth of the community. The Toxteth area was rapidly expanding as Liverpool’s magnates built opulent mansions. The synagogue stands in a cluster of houses of worship designed to advertise the wealth and status of the local captains of industry, a group that was remarkably ethnically diverse by the standards of Victorian England; immediately adjacent to the synagogue on Princes Road are the Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, the Church of England’s parish of St Margaret of Antioch, and the Welsh Presbyterian Church.
Construction on the synagogue was completed in 1874.

Royal Liver Building, Canada Boulevarde, Liverpool, Merseyside, England UK
Opened in 1911, the building was the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 98.2 m (322 ft) tall to the top of the spires, 103.7 m (340 ft) to the top of the birds and 50.9 m (167 ft) to the main roof.
The Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool with its two fabled Liver Birds, which watch over the city and the sea. Legend has it that if the two birds were to fly away, the city would cease to exist.

Liverpool Parish Church (Our Lady and Saint Nicholas), Cnr George’s Dock Gates & Chapel Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England UK
Dates from 1811 but a known place of worship back to 1250.
Over the years, as new churches were built, the “Old Church” continued to serve a congregation. Members repeatedly warned officials that the spire was unsafe. On Sunday 11 February 1810, as the bells rang and people were gathering for the morning service, the spire crashed into the nave below, killing 25 people. Twenty-one were under 15 years old, and most were girls from Moorfields Charity School. The original ring of six bells, dating from 1636 to 1724, was destroyed in the disaster.
During World War II, the bells were removed for safety, but they were never rehung. Following a German air raid on 21 December 1940, the main body of the church was destroyed by fire, leaving only the parish rooms, vestries and the 19th century tower. Rebuilding did not begin until March 1949, and the completed church, dedicated to ‘Our Lady and St Nicholas’, was consecrated on 18 October 1952

Wellington’s Column, William Brown Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England UK
The foundation stone was laid on 1 May 1861 by the Mayor of Liverpool. There were further delays during construction of the monument due to subsidence. Although it was inaugurated on 16 May 1863 in a ceremony attended by the Mayor and Sir William Brown, it was still not complete. Reliefs depicting Wellington’s victories and the charge at the Battle of Waterloo were still to be added and it was finally completed towards the end of 1865. These delays resulted in its being “a very late example of a column-monument for Britain”
