The Architect of Gravity
In 1901, Richard Norman Shaw, the master architect of the original New Scotland Yard, delivered his crowning achievement in Liverpool: the Parr’s Bank.
Shaw did not merely build a bank; he engineered a temple of permanence. Using soaring Neo-Renaissance arches and a grand circular hall, he manipulated mass and light to anchor the city’s financial soul. Today, as you dine beneath the gilded dome, you are occupying a sacred geometry of power and history.
"Time does not pass through this place; it resides within it."
