Liverpool Metropolitan (Catholic) Cathedral of Christ the King 
Description
Started long after work had commenced on the Anglican Cathedral, yet finished more than 10 years ahead of it. However, the speedy build has come back to haunt the Cathedral with it requiring so many repairs that at one point the repair bill was only slightly less than the cost of pulling the whole thing down and starting again. If the Anglican Cathedral is a fine example of what a traditional cathedral looks like, then the Catholic Cathedral is anything but. Internally it is built in the round with a large lantern made out of stained glass. Further stained glass around the outside make the inside strangely bathed in coloured light. Externally the building is eye catching, pejoratively called either "Paddy's Wigwam" or the "Popes Shuttle", the one thing you probably wouldn't think it was at a first viewing (if you didn't see the giant cross) was a religious building
