FEET TALL

The construction of St Johns Beacon began in 1965, its main purpose to provide a ventilation shaft for the shopping complex below, its completion coming in December 1969.

 

Standing 138 meters above sea level, the tower was the tallest building in Liverpool and remained so until the erection of the 40-storey Beetham West Tower (home to the Panoramic Restaurant), which stands tall at 140 metres.

That’s a wrap from us this year. Thank you to everyone who either visited the tower, left a (positive) review, recommended us to friends and family and posted wonderful photographs of the tower over the past twelve months. We really do appreciate it. Have a splendid evening, and all the very best for 2024. 

Happy New Year! 🥳 #liverpool #newyear
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dean Sullivan at the age of 68. Known to millions as the loveable rogue Jimmy Corkhill, he was also a good friend and colleague to many here at the tower when he presented his City Talk afternoon programme when the station launched back in 2009. A sad day for the city. RIP Dean! #liverpool
