    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?

    No problem Norm. This is an interesting thread, so I'll continue to post the odd photo from time to time. Must see if I can get one of those St Michael Church calendars !!!
