Official opening for Liverpool Pier Head canal link
Mar 25 2009
by Our Correspondent, Liverpool Echo
THE ?22m project to link up city centre Liverpool to the UK?s 2,200 mile canal system was being officially opened today.
The new one-and-a-half mile long canal is expected to generate 200,000 extra visitors a year to the city?s docks, worth an estimated ?1.9m to the local economy.
Thousands of boats can travel to the heart of Liverpool along the 127-mile Leeds & Liverpool canal, passing city gems such as the Liver, Cunard and Port of Liverpool buildings.
Chief executive of British Waterways Robin Evans said the new stretch of canal was a boost to the renaissance of the nation?s inland waterways.
Mr Evans added: ?It?s remarkable the way that the waterways have been reinvented for the 21st century and that we?re still building canals today.?

Well said,Kev! I think quite a few folks viewing these pics are saying the same
thing. I think Joe must have already got one, judging by all the brilliant
photos we're getting. It's a wonderful show, it has to be said.

You can get one from the Liverpool Boat Co Ltd - the largest canal boat builder in the UK.
It would be cool if the pier head and canal and misty one time and the grim reaper came to the pool by boat to come for some souls.

Love the canal, but i would be put off by the sights you have to see before getting to the Pier Head and Albert Dock.
