Wow 25 years ago Mum took us there. I was 4 and loved every minute, felt magical. Then I lived around the corner from the site for four years before moving away just this March.
I know times change, and things move on, but it is so sad that the remains of the site still lay derelict. Sadder still that some opportunists have been allowed to destroy the dome and other parts while not developing.

Just noticed this link on another thread in the news section of YO!
THE restoration of Liverpool?s Garden Festival site can finally start following the release of ?2.1m of funding for new public attractions.
Developers Langtree and the North West Development Agency (NWDA) say they hope the funding will allow the neglected south Liverpool site to be ?restored to its former glory?.
