Exchange Buildings, Liverpool

            Bunker housing World War II military command headquarters. World War I war memorial. Bunker, 1939-41, incorporated into basement of Walker House (left) of office complex. 1939, construction interrupted by World War II, and Horton House (right) not completed until 1955, with late C20 and early C21 alterations. Gunton and Gunton. Substantial reinforced shell to command headquarters, steel-frame and concrete construction with artificial stone cladding to building. War memorial, 1916, by Joseph Phillips. Bronze. Repositioned in niche in centre of S elevation in 1953, with flanking statues by Siegfried Charoux, early 1950s. Portland stone. The upstanding building is stripped classical, with a combination of stepped flat roofs and mansard roofs.

The bronze war memorial by Joseph Phillips was begun in 1916 and is arguably the first ever World War I memorial. The Battle of the Atlantic, one of the pivotal campaigns of the war, was planned and directed from the Western Approaches Command Headquarters in Liverpool, making it of national historic interest.

Foreground: Nelson monument by M. Cotes Wyatt, 1813; with work by Richard Westmacott. Earliest public monument in Liverpool.
