100th Birthday of the Cunard Building

ON Saturday, 2 July 2016, the Liverpool's Cruise Terminal gave a welcome to Cunard's 1st ever female captain and her ship, The Queen Elizabeth. The liner was in the River Mersey to mark the birthday of 1 of the most recognisable buildings in the world, the Cunard Building. 100 years on, this building forms 1 of the Liverpool's 3 Graces, playing an important part of the UNESCO World Heritage, the world famous Liverpool Waterfront, which also includes the other 2 Graces, the Liver Building and the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board building (Port of Liverpool Building). The building stands on the former George's Dock and was commissioned in 1914 by the then Cunard Steamship Company. Designed by William Edward Willink and Philip Coldwell Thicknesse, and constructed between 1914 and 1917, it was to become 1 of the world's most iconic buildings, as the British trans-Atlantic ocean liner industry developed. To mark this event on land, at the Pier Head, 2 free concerts took take place and then, to close the activities, with the backdrop of the illuminated Cunard Building and the Queen Elizabeth, a stunning firework display took place. Then shortly after, Cunard's Queen Elizabeth sailed into the night, out of the river. To find out more about the area's history, please visit our history section and also for more information about this event you can also read the report in the previous week's edition.
