    Queens Square!!! Whoever ordered it pulled down needs shooting. As a kid we would walk through the fruit market and you could eat apples galore for nothing.

    Such an attractive square.

    It?s difficult not to conclude that, in its relentless post-war economic decline, Liverpool became consumed by a hatred of its own past - Dr Gavin Stamp 2007

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    The Stork was saved for a while and quite isolated as the rest was demolished.

    Look at London's Covent Garden and that is what that area was. So much lost.
