Summary |
The next step of Dr Jonathan Foyle's journey takes him to the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool. Built from 1908, this behemoth in concrete was Britain's first skyscraper, and influenced buildings all over the world. On his climb, Jonathan scales over 75 metres to reveal how this granite building isn't quite what it seems and investigates how a concrete boat paved the way for this immense skyscraper.
