Saturday morning.....

...After another big cooked breakfast, of course, we went here:


















..to the Anglican cathedral, made of Liverpool sandstone, and the biggest cathedral in England. Then here:














..to the Roman Catholic cathedral, which actually, I liked better. 60s architecture is usually pretty bad - and they have had to spend about 6 million restoring it already, as all the 'new experimental' materials used on the roof failed and leaked, and the whole place was nearly pulled down..but I liked it, it felt light and peaceful, and a more human size than the cavernous Anglican cathedral....I particularly liked some of the art works and sculptures around..including this one in a small side chapel, dedicated to children, born and unborn:


















The two cathedrals are, famously, joined by a street called Hope...
