 AN ARCHITECTURAL treasure lies at the heart of Liverpool city centre - St George's Hall. For visitors arriving in the city by rail it is one of the first striking buildings they see as they emerge from Lime Street station. An imposing building guarded by pillars on top of an elegant plateau, it used for some of the most glittering events in the city's calendar. The hall itself is 169 feet long and 74 feet wide. 84 feet above the famous Minton tiled floor is the vaulted ceiling of this breathtaking Victorian building, and huge bronze doors guard it's interior. If the hall is open during your visit it is a must see as its statues, chandeliers and inscriptions hark back to the height of Liverpool's Victorian heritage.
