July 16th 2010 - Radio City Tower

Radio City Tower, pictured between the chimney pots of the Great Western Hotel in Lime Street,

was orginally called St. John's Beacon. It was built in 1965 and stands 125ft. tall. I can remember having Sunday dinner up in the rotating restaurant, which was a bit disconserting for a 10 year old. After falling into disrepair for many years following a kitchen fire, Liverpool's commercial radio station, Radio City, moved in during 1990.
