Happy Holidays Liverpool Cards by Colin Carr-Nall

Merry Christmas from Liverpool greeting cards by Liverpool artist Colin Carr-Nall featuring the Liver Building and River Mersey. The Royal Liver Building is a Grade I listed building located in Liverpool, England. It is sited at the Pier Head and along with the neighboring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. It is also part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City. Opened in 1911, the building is the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 90 m (300 ft) tall and was the tallest building in both Liverpool and the United Kingdom for over half a century. © 2011 COLIN CARR-NALL ARTBYCOL.COM
