As it stood in 1967
What Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral looked like in its prime.
A low, conical cathedral clad in Portland stone with an aluminium-covered sloping roof and exposed concrete structural trusses that give a tent-like silhouette. A tall, 16-sided glazed lantern with coloured dalle de verre panels rises from the centre and is crowned by thin stainless-steel pinnacles. A wide, formal flight of stone steps leads to a wedge-shaped bell tower above the main entrance, which bears geometric relief sculpture and rectangular bell openings.
