It said on Radio Merseyside that some of those trees are actually from the original Chavasse Park and we're uprooted during the building and re-planted a few weeks ago.

Thanks for that Philip but it's obvious that the blues are best, why - even that dummy is green with envy.
Yo! gets a 'mention' on the Liverpool One Wikipedia page.

Can't wait to have a look at it all on Saturday! Although I actually think the best bits will be in the St Peters Lane/ Hanover St areas. Ok, there's no Selfridges or Harvey Nichols (maybe Liverpool will eventually be able to pull them in), but it just seems unbelievable that they've managed to create almost half a city centre in 4 years! I think the Duke and Grosvenor have to be praised on their vision for this, and for seeing it though. They've made a massive loss on it after all.
Bristol is another city I have connections with, and it has been interesting watching their Broadmead development taking shape at the same time as L1. It's a smaller vision than L1 overall, but has quite similar ambitions (although I think they've gone for more of a mall that open streets). Check it out here.

looks nice enough. How it blends in with the area I don't know as I've never been to the centre of Bristol.
this line did make me smile though Over 200 new homes integrated into the development, including 24 affordable homes
so that makes 176 that are unaffordable?!
I guess most places are having to do this sort of thing now to keep up with neighbouring cities/towns that have done the same thing.
I'd like to see some more independent shops coming in though. the so called 'big' stores are fine in moderation but then every 'high street' starts looking very samey.
I'm surprised Selfridges didn't come in, but if JL and Debs took the biggest plots then they may have felt they'd got 2nd best.
but then what do I know. I'm not the brightest light in the box.
Proud Scouser, with a dabbling of Welsh and Irish.
bore yourself silly at my Flickr page...anorak central!
Bad architecture photowise If your looking to take an artistic shot but ok to walk through for shopping I guess.
Doesn't blend In with the old buildings very well.
Went through It today and bought a lunch, people In town walk very slow.
Gididi Gididi Goo.
I walk fast too and when i'm in a rush and know exactly where i'm going and want to get in and out and have it done with, some people seem to be going so slow as to be going backwards - put there as an obstacle to get on my nerves.
However, in this case, with the occassion of the opening etc, it's better to give yourself time to look and take it in - not particularly to shop.
It hasn`t taken long for the litter bugs to strike this was today

^^^^ That's just pure laziness that. Whoever left their rubbish there should be given a sound thrashing.

Exactly.
And chop the hands off thieves.
And bring back hanging.
And birching.
And National Service.
Or perhaps supply Litter Bins, which didn't seem to be much in evidence except one near the stage/steps.
Yes, I know any caring person would take their litter home if they can't find a bin.
