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.

This iconic image of John, Paul, George, Ringo and the uncredited Beetle was taken 55 years ago today by photographer Iain MacMillan, the album Abbey Road following 6 weeks later.
And yes, we still get tourists asking where in Liverpool this photo was taken! #liverpool #beatles #abbeyroad
