About this audio guide
This audio guide to St Johns Beacon in Liverpool looks at a late-sixties concrete tower raised over a new shopping centre, and at the jobs it was meant to do. It follows the flying saucer at the top, from its revolving restaurant days to a science-fiction makeover themed on Buck Rogers. Best heard at the foot of the shaft on Houghton Street, looking straight up.
