Hope the thread gets populated often by the ever changing Liverpool Skyline, thanks peeps:celb (23):

LOOKING up at the city centre skyline it is impossible to miss the myriad of cranes that now dominate the view - what an impact winning the European Capital of Culture for 2008 has had for Liverpool.

The number and breadth of building projects now under way is almost overwhelming.

The most eye-catching from the top of Paradise Street multi-storey car park is the £850m Grosvenor scheme which is truly massive.

This combined with the Met Quarter scheme will put Liverpool right back on the map in terms of offering a quality retail shopping and leisure experience.

It doesn't just stop at retail, there are a number of new office schemes currently in progress: work is now under way on a 300,000 sq ft St Paul's Square scheme and the 144,000 sq ft City Square development is now nearing completion.

Tie this in with the £60m Rumford Development, which offers a mix of 16 storey offices and a 27-storey residential tower, you can see that words such as "renaissance" and "regeneration" are not misplaced in the city centre.

Demand for residential development is still strong - the 26 storey Alexandra Tower and the City Lofts development down at Princes Dock are evidence enough. The latter projects are just two of a number of schemes at Princes Dock and Kings Dock. Also under construction is a new Malmaison Hotel and work has begun on an arena and conference centre which are due to be completed prior to 2008, with two hotels and a further 1,800 apartments, offices and shops to be constructed starting post-2008.

Much has been said about the state of the hotel market in Liverpool with endless comments about occupation rates. However, the industry has remained bullish throughout and this is borne out by the fact that for the annual Mathew Street Festival at the end of August, all the hotels in the city were fully booked.

It is an exciting time, not only for the property specialist in our department but also for our planning, construction and environmental teams who are all involved in the projects that are literally rising out of the ground before our very eyes.

It the truth just think...
Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, any other city you wish to mention have maybe one or two things that you might remember as a feature
but look at the skyline of Liverpool.
Nowhere comes close.

Excellent Paul, where's Unity?

That was an old render before its time I'm afraid but you can see the positive effect it's going to have.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

I love the new beetham. Are you going on the Unity tour next week?

BTW - WATERFRONT planners are ordering new buildings be raised above the river as they prepare for global warming.

Sea levels around Liverpool have risen by 6cm in the last 50 years and could swell by another 67cm by 2080.

And plans are already being laid to prepare for knock-on effects in the Mersey.

Liverpool's waterfront is going through a renaissance, with patches of land next to the Mersey the target for big-money building firms.

Work is already under way at Kings Dock, while Princes Dock and Mann Island are both earmarked for expensive projects.

But Environment Agency experts are telling developers to raise buildings above the water level to avoid risk of widespread flooding.

Hi-tech equipment has identified more areas at risk of flooding, and rules and regulations are more strict than ever before. continues (http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0100news/0100regionalnews/tm_objectid=17217302%26method=full%26siteid=50061% 26page=2%26headline=high%2dtide-name_page.html)...

Looks better at night.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

If I was ever in Wirral at night by the mersey, it would rock to just sit on the bench relxing at night admiring the view.:celb (6):

Great picture Paul

The night views are great. The city looks fab all lit up.

The night views are great. The city looks fab all lit up.

Just imagine it when the whole of the Kings Dock comes to life and with all of the other towers they have planned lighting up the Waterfront.:celb (23):

As it changes so its fame will remain.

The city skyline is famous only because people are interested in what goes on here, so it is used as a backdrop to report on other events. If we stop doing things then people will forget the buildings.... if we continue doing things then some of this will create sufficient value to lead to changes in the skyline.

http://img468.imageshack.us/img468/6871/skyline5bv.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Here's a complete pano of our skyline,the towers on Kings Dock have just gone into planning so hopefully they'll be approved soon,Central Village has been approved and doesn't feature on this render so that's to be added to this and also an application has just gone in for a tower in the Baltic Triangle for a 22 storey tower.As if that wasn't enough an application has just gone in for site 3A on Princes Dock(next to city lofts) for a 36 storey tower so things are really looking up.:celb (23):

Keep on seeing all these great renders on the forum of the city's skyline from the river - something I rarely see in reality. My daily view of the city's skyline is from the opposite direction as I wander down Erskine St. and Islington each morning. Anbody able to show us what the view over the city from the Low Hill direction is going to look like. :question:

A lot of the towers aren't complete so maybe that's why your not seeing any pictures of it from Low Hill yet and the renders we have are off the Kings Dock website so they're only interested in showing the skyline from the Waterfront.

The skyline is growing all the time. Fine pictures once again Paul.

:PDT_Piratz_26:

Thanks A.D let's hope that 36 storey tower next to city lofts that's just gone into planning gets approved hey.

Unity is looking great. The 3d images wern't all that complementitive of the building but I think it looks great now it's almost finished! Wouldn't mind an apartment there! Although, No1 Princes Dock will be nicer when it's built. Have to live by the river now!

I dont like Unity. I dont think it does the skyline any favours. The shape is fine. The cladding makes it look crap though.

The Unity is nice, it doesnt have to fit in with anything as far as I know - the colours on th Princess Dock buildings are a crime :PDT_Xtremez_12:

Nah! Princes Dock is nice. Its just too bloody small.

Very good Liverpool skyline website well worth a look at,Go all the

Now I'm not one to complain, but even my 17" screen doesn't allow me

to fully appreciate that photo. It's not hard to resize them, plus the images usually look a bit more sharper.

Microsoft offer a handy utility.

right click on any image in explorer and quickly resize them. A 9488px wide image is fine, but taking it straight off the camera at 10MP or something and

posting it kind of screws the thread up a bit...

I don't know who took this so forgive if it's you but I found this on SSC and I must say it's absolutely fantastic.

http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/icliverpool/nov2006/3/2/0A14C819-B2A9-B4F2-77D221423829E9DF.jpg

THIS is the first glimpse of Liverpool’s dramatic waterfront as it will look from 2008. New additions to the skyline include the arena and exhibition centre at Kings Dock, the Mann Island developments, as well as a collection of towering skyscrapers.

It all fits in with the city’s image to stake its claim to be a premier European city.

From the left the computer-generated picture shows the area around Princes Dock and the rapidly changing business quarter centred on Old Hall Street. The cluster of skyscrapers, including the 40-storey Beetham West Tower, currently under way, gives a mini-Manhattan feel to the area.

It includes the new Central Village development at the rear of Central Station, as well as the new tower that will replace Concourse House in Lime Street.

The two cathedrals as well as the Radio City Tower are still favourites along the skyline of the future.

Liverpool Vision Chief Executive Jim Gill said: “This new image gives us a glimpse into how Liverpool’s world-famous waterfront will look in the years ahead.

“We are now seeing the positive impact of the regeneration programme on the city centre skyline. It’s pleasing that all the schemes featured in the new image are now well under way or due to start before the end of the year.”

Liverpool City Council leader Warren Bradley, said: “Anybody questioning our aspirations to be a premier European city should look at the changes along our waterfront. They are dramatic and show a city brimming with confidence about its future.

“More importantly the new additions to our skyline represent tens of millions of pounds on investment, as well as confidence in Liverpool from the private sector. The marvellous Three Graces at the Pier Head remain the centrepiece and are rightfully respected in the emerging waterfront. People returning to Liverpool in 2007 and our culture year in 2008 will hardly believe their eyes when they see the transformation.”

Martin King, director of tourism at the Mersey Partnership, said: “This is a glimpse of how Liverpool will look as a truly world-class waterfront city.

“Liverpool's waterfront has always been a famous landmark. Our Three Graces represent the city's rich mercantile and mari- time history, and have contributed enormously to our Unesco World Heritage Site status.

“Now, like so much of the city, the waterfront is being transformed by huge new investments and developments which are going to make Merseyside an even more attractive visitor destination.

“The cruise ship berth, the new hotels, the new museum, the new retail and leisure developments and - perhaps most significant of all in terms of its potential - the new Arena and Convention Centre. For everyone involved in our tourism sector, that's a mouth-watering list of new developments.”

When the picture is updated it is likely to show even more changes. It could then show the new buildings approved along the Strand as part of Grosvenor’s £950m Paradise Street project, as well as more tower blocks along Princes Dock. It will also show the new cruise-liner landing stage in front of Princes Dock. That is on target to open next summer.

Worth a try. The Hydraulic Tower Snappel went up on East Float must give great views too - I wonder if he did take panos off the top?

does anyone have a larger version of the panorama that was on the icliverpool website with all the new proposals in it, rather than just grey spaces where they are going to be??

That's a very good view SD - seeing the buildings from another prospective, ie; the flats at the back of, or should I say - to the side of, 'The Blackie.'
Also the flats and houses by the cathedral. There's a sheltered accomodation there for the elderly Chinese community, it's called 'Chung Kok House' - looking at the picture, I think it's the oval set of buildings .. (there's a blue van parked in the centre).

I was 14, and the camera was a Box Brownie. :)

A couple more pics I forgot all about from a few years back. Not the best of quality, but they were taken from the East Lancs Rd near Knowsley.

Thanks kebabman :PDT_Piratz_26:

nice pano kebabman. and thanks petecarr.

Just taken this sitting in the office - I had to zoom in on my none optical zoom camera LOL so it's a poor image.....but the colours are there and the sun makes the trees look like they're on fire!

Wheres a good spot to take skyline pics from? I know most are taken from the Wirral side but where?

Also Woodside is good point as well...
When I have a time I will go to Irish Ferry terminal by Four Bridges and ask permission to take a night version skyline of
Liverpool...It seems Irish Ferry Terminal is exact opposite to Liver Building.

Kebabman...

Absolutely brilliant. Love the photographs.

Looks great on the shop wall too. I work in New Brighton and very often pop in for a sausage dinner late on. See you soon mate.

Kebabman is right, Woodside is a great view. If you walk along to monk's ferry and upto the Priory, you can go up the tower (when open, of course) and get really good views there too. I know ScouserDave has been there, have seen the photo's on here to prove it :)

Brilliant Photo's kebabman..:handclap:

My mate has just moved in to the Unity Building and currently has access to the Penthouse while they are still finishing it off. As soon as I go up, I'll take me camera and snap away!

You get some cracking views from the penthouse.

South Liverpool rooftops and the Welsh Hills

That pic of Daves, msg 158 is practically the same position as Snappels on the Merseyside winter wonderland thread with icy railings.

Probably the same spot where Snappel took his pic, except I zoomed in. Notice the storm approaching? It peed down ten minutes later.

http://www.liverpoolpictorial.co.uk/unitypic.jpg

That's a great view -

all those colours...

all that concrete....

all that hard labour...

Magnifico.

The icy railings one wasn't from the top though, it was half way up the 'steps', just below the penthouses...

Look at the Pru and the other, is it the Pearl - great towers on Dale ST.

The gold one is the Royal Insurance Building (http://www.level-two.co.uk/report.php?locname=royalins). Exploring that was a treat and a half. All of it, from the stunning city views in the tower to the air-raid shelter in the basement. I'm annoyed they sealed it up, but on the plus side at least it's safe from vandals...

Ah yes, the Royal. Didn't I hear that they were the only insurance company to pay out on the Titanic. That Sweeting street/Elbow Lane is a quaint little place surrounded with the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Love that pic Scouserdave :PDT11

Cheers Baz. Appreciated.:PDT11

Had to slap the text on the pic as I've sold it. Wouldn't do it usually, but Scouseyuppie from SSC is an avaricious stealer of my pics.:PDT_Xtremez_12:

Too many threads to look through but most of the pics I've seen are fuzzy Imageshack hosted pics.

I hated the close minded opinions more there though when Snappel and his mates posted their pics of Beetham West on the crane there though. Their opinion like but to say he should of been banned because he could Influence people to do the same Is crap!

There old enough to think for themselves whether to climb up towers or not.

Sad to say that I haven't viewed the SSC forum for some time now - I still view SSC from time to time but, I no longer contribute to the forums. I have my own issues with some very childish mods on those forums. Also, and like others have pointed out, this forum is more focused on metropolitan Liverpool and the mods on here are far more educated and definitely more adult.

As Kev said it has to be morning early morning..When you are taking picture it is best to have sun behind you...I do at around 5 pm from here then the sun goes low and shinning over buildings...

When you got pictures you can stitch them with many software such as ArcSoft panaroma maker..

Went down to New Ferry Esplinade today...

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5962/20070528029iy1.jpg
From here, the Catholic Cathedral is practically hiding behind the Anglican. Not a sight you normally see! Mill View Flats on Mill Street is also visable from here as is the Florrie.

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2578/20070528030tv2.jpg
The Pier Head and the surrounding Princes Dock/Beetham developments. Not to sure what the jetty was for, might be something to do with Esso's operations as this is where navigations for the Manchester Ship Canal begin. The Ship is berthed at the other end of the Esplinade at Rock Ferry.

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/91/20070528030afx9.jpg
A slightly grainy blow up of the previous image. The Malmaison Hotel on the Princes Dock is more noticable here.

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4937/20070528031vy2.jpg
This view will be completely different in a year or so as the Herculanium Tower will dominate the skyline. From this angle it is rather evident that it will stick out like a sore thumb givin its proposed size and shape. I know the residents of Shorefields have fought hard to prevent the building of the tower, but I wonder if the residents of New Ferry Esplinade know what's going on? The top of Heysmore Heights can be seen peeping over the horizon.

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9814/20070528032vc5.jpg
One last look over to Liverpool City Centre showing the Cathedrals and St Johns Beacon as well as the dockside developments including the marina.

Great views on all pages of this thread people! Good work!

Brilliant photographs everyone!...makes yer feel proud.

Yeah, nice photos, but they'd all look twice as good if rotated to make the horizon level.

It wasn't at all meant in a nasty way - I've just spent ages correcting a load of pictures I took in Photoshop. I can't take them level for love nor money, despite having a 360 degree spirit level on the tripod head!

Dont worry bout it!

But if you want to see Liverpool from a different angle, New Ferry is the place to go.
