    The canal was filled in at its most extreme. Quite a bit of canal and a basin were filled in. The canal at one time nearly hit Princes Dock.

    There was a plan to extend the canal from this location, along the Strand behind the Liver Buildings and into Canning Dock.

    I think this may have been a better route rather than the current route in front of the Liver. Then the Princes, Princes half-Tide Docks could have been left deep water docks (not made shallow for) and deep water historic ships berthed in these docks.

    A better idea was to have partially excavated the Old Dock (Steers Dock) - L1 is now on it. Have the Leeds/Liverpool canal enter the Old Dock and then onto the Canning Dock via the original Old Dock entrance. Then canal boats would have to enter the Old Dock using locks, surrounded by a shopping Centre. That would be much more atmospheric and re0-earthing history too, as the Old Dock was the world's first enclosed commercial dock.

    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?
