Liverpool is noted for its two cathedrals, [[Anglican]] and [[Roman Catholic]]. The former, a traditional design from the early 1900s, is built from local sandstone. The Catholic cathedral built in a modern style during the 1970s is affectionately known as Paddy's Wigwam or the Mersey Funnel - a pun on the pioneering Mersey Tunnel constructed under the river between Liverpool and [[Birkenhead]]. | Liverpool is noted for its two cathedrals, [[Anglican]] and [[Roman Catholic]].
