What tales that building could have told . An irreplaceable piece of Liverpool History lost forever. What price Culture without History ????
Yes, I've got some photographs somewhere of it being demolished - many of my pictures seem to be of grand buildings being wantonly destroyed - I just wish I knew where I'd put them!
