Hope Street


Reflecting back on my three weeks in Liverpool/UK, I noticed how everyone mentioned Hope Street. How on each end is a huge cathedral: one Anglican, one Catholic, between them a street named Hope. Touring the Catholic Cathedral, I learned that it was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott. He was 22 year old when his design was chosen in 1901 from an open competition.

Guess what he also designed? The red telephone booth so associated with England!!
