    An old styled shop attracts people. They have no idea of marketing and advertising their shops. What I loved was the old styled Men's Shops. They were superb inside with all the polished wood and drawers. They were everywhere. There are a few left in the City of London. Any left in Liverpool? I have not come across any.

    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?

    There's bound to be one or two around the Town Hall area,one springs to mind was outdoors sports shop that was racked in old style wooden draws and shelving on the fishing side of the buisness,another was the bespoke tailors in the same area.

    I just saw the request for the "NOW" pics and as I live in Old Swan, I normally jog to the pier head, along to Bootle and back.
    This morning I decided to take a detour through Everton.
    It was either that or just Google Map it, save the image and post it up, but thats too easy isn't it !
