To tell you all about the building and its surrounding areas from A to Z!
This weeks is P for Pier Head
The Pier Head is the name of the riverside area of Liverpool’s waterfront. It is best known as the home of the city’s iconic Three Graces: the Port of Liverpool Building, the Cunard Building, and of course, the Royal Liver Building. 🏛️
The Pier Head formed a part of the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was granted in 2004 but removed from the World Heritage List in 2021. It served as a major landing point for passenger ships travelling to and from Liverpool, a role it continues to today with its Ferry Services 🛥️
It is also home to several statues and memorials, including the 1.2-tonne Beatles Statue; donated by the Cavern Club, the placement of the statue coincides with the 50 year anniversary of the band's last gig played in Liverpool (at the Liverpool Empire Theatre). The statue is now the city's most popular selfie spot! 📸
