Williamson Square in town could do with a facelift.

The shops behind Marksys are a disgrace and it looks really downbeat.

The fountain is a major improvement but the buildings let it down. Also I notice that the fountain is rarely on. I can't see the point in spending out on a fountain if it is never switched on. The Big Wheel was good fun over Chrimbo must say I went on it and near S**t meself when I got to the top.

There used to be a theatre in Williamson Square which was knocked down to make way for the Marksy's goods entrance. The buildings there now are a let down. (Even if they are an improvement on the walkway in the sky stairs which were put up in the 60's or 70's.

Williamson Square has loads of potential but it needs attention.

Does it still hold the continental market (http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1101&highlight=Williamson+Square) ?

It was there over Chrimbo

There was also a pub called the Shakespeare on the corner of Williamson Square. It was pulled down about 10 years ago and has now been replaced by a dull retail unit which no one has any interest in. Another example of civic vandalism in Liverpool.

no the other side by the taxi rank. On the corner was an olde worldy pub which should have been preserved.

ohhh i see.
I do agree with you though, it is a wasted area. there could be a really vibrant little square going on there.
when the new mall gets built though, i fear williamson square will be even more overlooked.

Williamson Square.

Thanks Kev.

What was the green stuff on the second pic?

continental market ?

Market Stands= Pure evil.

One parked his stand near my bike when It was locked on the bike locks In clayton square and It knocked one of my old lights off!

They need there own space for market stands instead of parking near bike lock areas!

[QUOTE=Max;37075]What was the green stuff on the second pic?

Must be an Orb or something Max !!

Is that Williamson sqaure In the 80's or something too?

I noticed the sayers sign Is yellow.

Like the big kid I am, I went on the big wheel when it was there and you should see the state of the back of that row where the famous army stores is/was - there's little yards and gardens with all sorts of stuff in them.

Im gonna have t' investigate Ged..Who d'yer reckon would have the Back door if I was to ask in Shops.

I know..A little spying mission on The George Henry Lee Stairwells might be Called for here..

Some more pictures from my collection - I took loads of the big wheel during the dark hours, then in the last few days before it was taken down I suddenly realised I hadn't been on it yet so I went for a ride and saw a cracking sunset.

CRACKING pics there my son!!! :handclap:

Thank u very much...Tommy Cooper Style !

Great pics, thanks - how did you get up onto the roof?

This evening I went up onto the roof of the Hanover St car park to see what I could see and was surprised to see that big glass dome on Clayton Square - it's a shame to build something like that but not be able to see it from anywhere! I noticed it from outside the Tesco later but only because I knew it was there.

That, along with my discovery of the Clayton Square dome, goes to show how often I look upwards! :unibrow:

Thanks Gerard.

A completely different viewpoint.
I love that spiral staircase!

I dont think even Dave would go up them Cranes though..
Would yer Davey Lad !!
F**k that Gerard mate! I'm getting vertigo just looking at your cracking pics.

Great pics Gerard but could you have made them a bit better by climbing outta the car park and onto that roof, looks easy, I know you're getting on a bit but it's worth it if you've made the first bit o' effort. Besides, if ya don't come back, i'll ask Kate if I can have your chippie tea on saturday.

Sorry folks but I have lost all these Williamson Square photos from my Computer...(more lost again !!)

I never deleted them and will go and take them again and put them back on.

Oh dear, Gerard.

I'm probably telling you something you know already, but you can get your pics transferred from your memory card to CD.
97p at ASDA for up to 200 files.

If my computer would let me do it, I would, but I can't at the moment.
I think it's got something to do with lack of memory.
I wish I knew more about the technical side, but I can't help it if I'm just a pretty face! :PDT_Piratz_26: :PDT_Piratz_26: :PDT_Piratz_26:

Thank You Phil,
Now Im gonna get told "Serve's you right" here but I can already do that Phil..
I not too concerned about the Williamson Square ones as I can get them anytime..
But I had loads of great ones of the Workmen re-laying all the steps on the St George's hall over looking St Johns Lane..Im sick about losing them..
I just hope they are on my External hard disc doo daa..
This all happened before and Luckily enough I had just backed up every Beatles photo before my last laptop bit the dust..Days before...
Jaaeees..I'd never get some of them again...anyway...

And hears me spouting on about "Keep em yours"....
I cant even keep my own.....Serves me Right Eh...Eh.

You'll have to put a request out to see if anyone has saved them.
I've saved your old ones, Gerard, and if you need them I'll email them to you.

Phil,If you go into "My Pictures" you should have a "Picture Tasks" column on the left..Does it say "Copy all Items to CD" at the bottom ?

Click on any picture folder and this should change to "Copy to CD"
You wont get them all on to 1 CD if you are trying to copy them in "Copy all Items to Cd" as 1 CD is too small in storage capacity.

I used to do all that and end up with a message saying "Insert a writable CD" when one was already in!

Anyway, I bought some cheap disks from ASDA and it's worked this time. :PDT11
I know the difference between rewritable disks and single use ones, but never realised that single use must come in different formats (do they?).
This is the successful disk (see attachment), so I'll get 100 tomorrow, as I've practically no memory left on my HD, as I download film clips from RapidShare.

I've been all through that as well ! Trying to puts images on disk and being told to 'insert disk' when there is already one in ! When our old computer was playing up, it got to the stage in the end when transfering images was pushing it too far and it eventually crashed and completely pegged out on us !
:rolleyes:

There is to be a continental market in Williamson Square from 2nd August to the 5th, just in time for the sun to come out!
Stock up on those strange sausages :)

update!, the market is located in Lord Street

Got some great cheese there, last time the market was there.

Thanks for letting us know Billo,

I love the food on the stalls :handclap:

Farm comes to the city


LIVERPOOL’S Williamson Square will be transformed into a farmyard today (20th March)

The city centre will be alive to the sound of the countryside – giving youngsters the chance to get up close to goats, lambs, ducks and rabbits.

The Easter Farm starts at noon. It is is being run by the Liverpool Central Business Improvement District.

Heres some pics from todays "farm" (2 sheep ,2 goats & 2 rabbits :disgust: )
