Went in there last year Phil and a few photos were taken, when I find them I will put one of them up, photos, I mean.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
A waste of another fine Liverpool pub, but in the state it was in there was no doubt it had to go.
Nice to see the council finally realising it has to try and save properties, afetr the wanton destruction of the massive houses in Toxteth.
New planning application submitted today, 3 July 07.....
Ref: 07F / 1978
To erect mixed use development comprising, retail, commercial and 418 apartments with car park.:handclap:
Cheers for the update Woody :PDT11 Happy days..... :)
I can't think of a more appropriate site for a scheme of this size, with Princes Dock a stones throw away :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
These are OLD renders ,but may indicate what we can expect.........

I believe the accepted definition of a skyscraper is a building 50 floors high or taller. Lets hope this is Liverpool's first skyscraper.
Who gives a sh1t about terminology, let's just build the **** things...
Skyscraper, 5 results on Dictionary.com. None mention how many stories.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/skyscraper
Get them built so Snappel has something to climb.:handclap:
I read this definition:
I think 'Harry' is just being a pedant.Quote:
multi-storied building constructed on steel skeleton, combining extraordinary height with ordinary rooms such as would be found in low buildings, the term originated in the United States in the later 1880s after buildings in New York reached ten stories
In case anybody doesn't know, the Royal Liver Building was the tallest office building in Europe until after the Second World War.
It's a pity Liverpool's planners aren't as forward thinking now, as they were 100 years ago.
And the definition of a skyscraper is about the same as the definition of a length of a piece of string.
I've seen a postcard of Manhattan's skyline in about 1907 which mentions skyscrapers.
Many thanks to Gothic at Skyscrapernews, this image was released just past midnight, 54 storeys ..........170M high.......

A Beautiful piece of architecture
the sort of thing the council has talked about in its layered or tier approach.
its certainly iconic.

WOW :PDT_Piratz_26:
This is exactly what we want,this is a stunner.:handclap:
:PDT11 I'd buy that for a dollar!
Wonderful, lets hope it gets built!
I agree it's very impressive. About time too.:)
My only criticism is that it's yet another bloody bar code facade.
The 14th floor features a massive skybar and restaurant spread over almost 600 square metres that will be accessed by an exclusive express lift and offer 360 degree views of the whole of Liverpool from within.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
A SPECTACULAR £130m skyscraper planned for Liverpool’s waterfront will contain the highest living space in the UK. Read
Tell me how tall It will be Kev.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
If plans get the go ahead, the tower will stand 170m (558ft) and 54 storeys tall by the Princes Dock development

The tower has been designed by architects Leach Rhodes Walker (LRW), who say they have taken into account Liverpool's World Heritage status
