In the afternoon we headed towards the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, a Roman Catholic Cathedral, that was designed by Frederick Gibberd. Construction began in 1962 and it took five years to complete. The cathedral is sometimes referred to as "Paddy's Wigwam" because Liverpool was a place of refuge where many Catholic Irish fled during the potato famine. We made it there just as the sun was beginning to set and saw how beautiful the stained glass windows looked from the inside.
