    The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

    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?

    Craig Charles (Red Dwarf, Corry) was born and bred in Childwall, about 2 mins walk from the church. Loads of us used to knock about with him and his brother. His dad still lives in the same house.

    Default Simon O'Brien.

    For what it's worth, I don't think Simon's from Toxteth.
    His family home was Howard Drive in Grassendale when he was in Brookside.
    I don't know whether he was born and bred there, though.

    Wasn't he born underneath the Pool table in the Aigburth Arms?
