The whole of Liverpool opens up before the discerning visitor, the music fan on a pilgrimage to Matthew Street, the eagle eyed tourist, those who decide to make the city their home and those coming home to the city of culture; none can surely be anything but impressed by the sight of St. George’s Hall as it dominates the skyline and the thoughts of a 160 years of memories, celebrations, powerful speeches and those who lost their lives in the bowels of the building.
