Hi Kev

Great pics, Kev, Snappel, et al.

I believe this building with eagle or phoenix was a well known pub in Liverpool's "Sailortown" if I am not mistaken. Do we have any information on it in the pubs thread or elsewhere?

Thanks in advance.

I thought all the old Georgian buildings were listed.

I used to drink in the Eagle on a bit of a crawl after work on a friday with some of the lads when I worked in Dale street, (early finish) very midful of having to make it to the Cleveland by the pox clinic for the stripper's half six slot.

Uh oh...

Hehe - nothing to worry about, I'm just a mere civvy!

A FOUNTAIN within a fountain will be the eye-catching centre piece of Liverpool’s newest park. more

I've enjoyed watching the construction, but I'll sure be glad when Chavasse Park is back and I can go and sit there on those sunny afternoons! It was a bit tatty but I liked it, and by the crowds when the weather was good so did lots of other people. Imagine the new one all smartened up...

Looks like more construction work around Paradise St in 2008. Mate of mine sent me this link.

"Balfour Beatty said it has won design and build contracts worth £111m for privately-owned property group Grosvenor for the Paradise Project in Liverpool.

"This multi-use development, adjacent to Paradise Street in the heart of the city centre, will form a significant proportion of Grosvenor's 42-acre Liverpool redevelopment programme, which will be completed during the city's European Capital of Culture Year in 2008," the group explained in a company update.

The work will involve five Balfour Beatty companies, namely Balfour Beatty Construction, Mansell, Balfour Kilpatrick, Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering and Stent Foundations, it added."

Bah, I was believing that then Dave until you said 'mate of mine'

I remember the bar was called Bar Zeus before It closed down and before It was bar Zeus was called the Q Bar.

That's right, Max, and, of course, it was originally called the Eagle.

There's a Wikipedia article on the Paradise Project but it was very basic, so I've added a bit more detail tonight, and will probably do some more over the next few days. Anyone care to contribute?
