Abseiling on Liverpool's iconic Anglican Cathedral
Photographs and report by Colin Trollope

UPON a very pleasant summer’s afternoon, on 10 August 2012, some very adventurous people caused an ever changing crowd of onlookers, and supporters to stand, watching, on the drive, leading up to the East End of Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral. You may well ask:- “What were they watching?” The answer is, they were there to see, and cheer on, some intrepid people abseiling down from the roof. Among those ladies and gentlemen were clergymen, climbers and ones who had never abseiled before. Some said they were brave, others stated that they thought they were daft, but, however, they were proud of them because they were doing it for charitable reasons. Some had donations of over £1,000 for what they were supporting! One of them, was the Vicar of St Luke’s Church, Formby, who was doing the abseil to raise money for reordering the East End of that Church. ‘Well done’ was everyone’s comment, especially as one of them was afraid of heights! Here are some photographs of some carrying out the perilous descent.
