To celebrate St George’s day, lets take a look at some of Liverpool’s most famous ‘Georges’
St George’s Hall
In the heart of the city, Liverpool’s St George’s Hall acts as a welcoming sight to those arriving from Lime Street station.
Completed in 1854, the neoclassical hall has become a true icon of the city and is a location that has celebrated some of the city’s most significant moments.
The building’s beauty has been well documented, it is listed on TripAdvisor as the number one ‘Architectural building in the North West.’
George Harrison
No list about Liverpool would be complete without a nod to the Beatles.
Often dubbed the ‘quiet Beatle’, George Harrison was the band’s youngest member having joined the Beatles at the age of 14.
Despite John and Paul being known as the main songwriters in the band, George did write several songs including ‘Here Comes the Sun’.
The Georgian Quarter
Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter is certainly one of the most picturesque parts of the city.
Consisting of countless traditional pubs and the UK’s largest Cathedral, the charming, cobbled streets of the Georgian Quarter feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Liverpool ONE.
The area’s name derives from the era in which the neighbourhood was built, during the reigns of George I, II, III and IV in the 18th and 19th centuries.
George’s Dock Building
George’s Dock Buildings is deemed as many to the Liverpool’s fourth grace.
As well as housing the Queensway’s Tunnel ventilation system, the building’s lower floors has office space taken up by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.
Despite being somewhat overshadowed by the nearby three graces, George’s Dock Building’s beauty and history has earnt it Grade II listing status.
