The Royal Liver Building is one of Liverpool's 'Three Graces' - the elegant buildings situated at Liverpool's Pier Head (the other two are The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building). The Royal Liver Building opened in 1911 as the HQ of the Royal Liver Group, whose roots began with the formation of the Liverpool Liver Burial Society in 1850. On top of the building are the mythical Liver Birds, Bella and Bertie, whose metal wings are alleged to flap every time a virgin walks across Pier Head - though the birds are actually there to protect the city and sailors. In April 2019, the Liver Building was opened up with a visitor centre and tours to the 10th and 15th floors (Royal Liver Building 360), from which there are spectacular views over Liverpool and the Mersey.
Snape maltings is a complex of shops, holiday accommodation, café and pub centred around the world famous concert hall. The buildings are mainly converted Victorian industrial buildings, originally used for the malting of barley. The venue was created by composer Benjamin Britten and his partner, singer Peter Pears, reclaiming the old buildings. A programme of music runs all year.
Laid out in 1830-41 on the site of the earlier royal stables, Trafalgar Square in central London commemorates Admiral Nelson's naval victory in 1805 and has Nelson's Column as its main feature. There are four plinths for statues in the square: General Sir Charles James Napier, Major General Sir Henry Havelock and King George IV. The fourth plinth, empty for many years, now features contemporary works of art. There is an equestrian statue of Charles I to the south of the square, traditionally the original location for Charing Cross and the site of execution of the regicides after the restoration. Trafalgar Square, London's largest square, is surrounded by attractions - like the National Gallery - and has long been a location for meetings, protests and revels. Legend has it there is buried treasure beneath its paving stones...
