15 pictures showing one of Liverpool's most iconic buildings like never before

Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral is one of the city's most recognisable buildings.

It is the world's eighth-largest church and is the fourth-tallest structure in Liverpool, with its tower standing at 331ft. As such, it stands proudly on the city's skyline as one of the symbols of Liverpool.

Though it was not completed until 1978, the cathedral was consecrated in 1924, meaning it is celebrating its centenary this year. To mark the occasion, it is holding a number of events throughout the year.

Earlier this year, the ECHO was invited on the cathedral's 'Above and Beyond' tour, which takes you to the top of its tower and lets you see areas of the building which are usually off limits. Not only does the tour offer panoramic views of Merseyside, it allows you to see the grand building from different angles and gain a new perspective on it.

Below, we take you through the cathedral as you've not seen it before. It includes a trip to the bell chamber, views from the Corona Gallery and a venture into side rooms, which have their own secrets.

The ECHO took a look at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral as part of our Behind the Doors series, which takes a closer look inside some of the region's most interesting buildings.
