The Archive Hour: Building on Hope Street

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Liverpool resident Charlie Lambert tells the story of the creation of the city's Anglican Cathedral on Hope Street. It took 75 years to complete, contained the world's biggest organ, dwarfed any other cathedral in the UK, and was built using styles and techniques from previous centuries. This programme includes archive recordings of the architect Giles Gilbert Scott and fresh interviews with the people who worked all their lives on building Scott's design. There is also a look at the role the building has played in the life of the city and how the cathedral has worked with the Catholic Cathedral at the other end of Hope Street. Producer Ian Bent
