The Royal Liver building, completed in 1911, stands a few yards from the river Mersey near Liverpool's Pier Head, formerly the point from which ferries left for Birkenhead.

I'm
training in Liverpool this week and I'm seeing huge development in the City; some of the older buildings converted from offices to luxury flats, and other new skyscrapers appearing on the skyline - some of them blocking other's views of the river (a bit of local controversy there, I understand). And I'm so close to the Liver building that the training room I'm in doesn't need a clock- I can just glance out of the window (see picture!) and see the time on the old landmark, where the clock face is said to be larger than that on the Houses of Parliament.
