Enjoy a tour and a pint |
Stanhope Street Liverpool, Merseyside L8 5XJ United Kingdom +44 151 709 8734 |
Established since 1850, the company was formed by Irish-born Robert Cain who arrived in Liverpool as a young man and quickly built up a thriving brewing business. Still producing award-winning ales today, the terracotta tiled building is a historic landmark and of great architectural interest. Tours commence promptly at 6:30p and visitors should be prepared to climb stairs. Pre-booking is essential and the tour is open to over 18s only. Following the tour, visitors are encouraged to sample a pint or two in the adjacent Brewery Tap pub. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Orthodox Synagogue close to city centre |
Princes Road Synagogue Chambers Liverpool, Merseyside L8 1TG United Kingdom +44 151 709 3431 |
The consecration stone was laid in 1874 and it is now a Grade II listed building. The architects, W & G Audsley were specialists in synagogue designs and aimed for an Eastern perspective. The rose windows at either end of the synagogue are Romanesque and the domes and cupolas above the Ark are Byzantine. However, the external brickwork of the towers and windows are of Moorish design and the horseshoe-shaped internal arches are reminiscent of Spanish medieval architecture. Review © 2007, Wcities |
