THE SECRETARY BIRD

Covering the side of The Wedding House on Great George Place, near Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, this colourful take on a Liver Bird was painted by local artist John Culshaw.

The Liver Bird is a mythical creature said to have originated in 1207 when King John was granted a Royal Charter to register the city of Liverpool as a borough. Needing a unique seal, the symbol of the bird was chosen to feature as part of the royal’s crest.
