Liverpool Cathedral was designed by a 22 year old who had never built anything before. Giles Gilbert Scott won the competition in 1901 with his first ever architectural proposal, and went on to design Battersea Power Station and the red telephone box before the cathedral itself was finished, 74 years later. He did not live to see it completed.

The foundation stone was laid in 1904 by King Edward the Seventh, to a choir of a thousand voices singing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, fitting ambition for a building that would become the fifth largest cathedral in Europe. Every stone was carved on site, which explains the decades it took.

VoiceMap's Hope Street Stroll traces the walk from here to the city's other cathedral, using the two buildings and the street between them to unpick Liverpool's religious history, its music and theatre scene, and its long relationship with the Beatles.
