YEAH EVERYBODY IT'S FRIDAY AGAIN. TIME FOR TAKE FIVE FRIDAY! YOU KNOW THE RULES BETTER THAN ME SO HERE WE GO.
REGULARS WILL NOTICE THAT THIS IS A RETURN TRIP TO THE ROOF OF THE WIRRAL MUSEUM, WHERE I WORK! NO SHOTS OF THE RIVER THIS TIME. SO IT'S HAMILTON SQUARE BIRKENHEAD WIRRAL AND THE FIRST ONE IS COLLOQUIALLY KNOWN AS 'VICTORIA'S WEDDING CAKE' BUT REALLY IS A REPLICA ELEANOR CROSS.
THE WAR MEMORIAL IN THE FOREGROUND IS FOR THE DEAD OF BIRKENHEAD FROM WORLD WAR ONE.
THIS RATHER MAJESTIC TOWER IS THE TOWER OF HAMILTON SQUARE RAILWAY STATION. ANUNDERGROUND STATION THAT IS AS DEEP AS THE TOWER IS TALL BECAUSE IT USED TO BE BECAUSE OF THE HYDRAULICS INVOLVED THAT THE LIFT HAD TO HAVE AS MUCH ABOVE IT AS BELOW.
THE DOUBLE TOWERED BUILDING IS JUST ONE OF THE VENTILATION SHAFTS FOR THE QUEENSWAY - BIRKENHEAD - ROAD TUNNEL.
RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER CAN BE SEEN THE METROPOLITAN CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE KING, LIVERPOOL. ALSO KNOWN AS 'PADDY'S WIGWAM' AND 'THE MERSEY FUNNEL'! OR OF COURSE 'THE CATHOLIC ONE'
HARDLY A CLOSE UP BUT JUST PART OF THE DISPLAY OF TREES AND FLOWERS TO BE SEEN IN HAMILTON SQUARE.
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!!
