Plans to build a 1,000ft tower dubbed the 'Scousescraper' on Liverpool's world-famous waterfront would have seen the city become home to the tallest building in Europe .
Over the years, Liverpool has seen its fair share of fantastical schemes that didn't come to fruition. From the controversial "cloud" building dubbed the fourth grace to bringing Disneyland to the city, many plans have turned out to be little more than pipe-dreams.
However, that's not to say all of the most ambitious plans never left the drawing board. The foundations of the great cathedral, larger than St Paul's, were laid but building was interrupted by World War II, resulting in only part of the visionary design being completed in the form of Lutyens' Crypt.
