    Not sure about the building, but I would just love some of those strange trees!

    ** if you like the trees wait till the birds arrive! *rofl*, no from the render the building does look strange but, i think this might be to do with what fabrication is used? I still like the idea of sitting out on that balcony enjoying the beautiful scenary

    That's an odd-looking building alright, we'll see how it looks in real life! Is the new canal link going underground, under the King George statue?

    A few days ago there was a repeat of Coast on TV, featuring Liverpool. Nicholas Crane arrived at the Pier Head on the Mersey Ferry and walked up the old walkway from the old landing stage ... it's nostalgic already

    **, yes, the canal will go underground or rather a concrete tunnel will connect that section, should be nice when its finnished provided idiots dont throw things in and mess it up, *sighs* sad fact.
    all lit up at night it should look very impressive.

    Protection from gales blowing in off the river, maybe? Of course no one would be outside in such weather anyway!

    I agree about the potential problem of scallys and the canal. All very idealistic but they need to be practical too. Maybe police or security presence will keep all peaceful.

    All the best

    I would have liked to have seen a balcony on both sides.
    Be nice to sit and look over to the Wirral at night.

    Default memories

    I too remember in my youth, going to the pier head for my last bus home, or a carton of soup and a sleep in the telephone box if my dad had locked me out. Loved watching the boats when you could get upstairs onto the open top verandah.

    I too had a few Christmas parties there when I was working "in the city"

    Such fine memories that only death can suff out.

    Get off you morbid old get.

    o.k. I,ve gone

    Took less time than i thought

    Aye if that gets off the ground (pardon the pun) then it will join a few things only to look at.

    Hope it all goes to plan.
