Walk of Fame

[Kev]

LIVERPOOL Labour MP Louise Ellman is calling for immediate action to repair the city's rundown Walk of Fame ahead of European Capital of Culture in 2008.

The mile-long walkway, bearing the names of Liverpool stars of stage and screen, was laid at Otterspool promenade at a cost of £50,000.

But more than 20 years after the first flag was laid, the walkway has been reduced to a rubbish-strewn eyesore and a target for thieves and vandals.

Many of the flagstones are cracked and broken.....

I love it in its present state although getting it restored should be the priority.

What do you think? Have you visited it recently?

Hi kev, whereabouts on the prom is 'The Walk'? I went down there today, did the half down to Garston end but no luck. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Cheers

The Walk of Fame is not far from the old Garden Festival Hall.

Thanks Dave, is that actually on the prom or on the top road or within the Festival site itself? I know... I'm thick!

By the way, nice site, spot on! Ta.

It's at the back of the Britannia Inn right next to the river. You can't miss it.

To the left of this picture!

A Hollywood-style Walk of Fame could be set up in Cardiff to honour the great and good of Wales.

A National Walk of Fame - the second of its kind in the UK - would pay tribute to famous and distinguished Welsh men and women.

Their names would be inlaid in silver on individually-carved stone plaques.

(Now where d'you think the FIRST one was?).....WRONG! Read on...

And members of Cardiff Council are expected to visit the UK's other Walk of Fame - in Brighton - later this month before making their decision on the scheme.

Councillor Nigel Howells, the council's executive member for leisure, sport and culture, said: "A Welsh National Walk of Fame could be a major new attraction, paying tribute to famous and distinguished Welsh men and women.

So where does that leave ours,eh?
Perhaps ours is now so dilapidated, it should be renamed 'The walk of Shame'!
