Not worth a facelift, It needs smashing down and totally rebuilt.
We need more detailed buildings built again to make Liverpool unique and not dull, the council are just selling out to businesses.
Gididi Gididi Goo.
Still have memories of going in there with my mum in the late 50's - I invariably got lost. It was a cornucopia of delights for a young lad - like going into a Moroccan bazaar!
I think a Moroccan bazaar would be cleaner than St Johns. I'm thinking about the food and clothes area in the middle. It has looked like a disaster area for years. It definately wants a bomb under it. Ooops I've said bomb, there goes the hotline in the pentagon!
The stone Liver bird pictured atop the building was in the old Museum of Liverpool life and is currently in storage. Don't know if there's any plans for it to be in the new museum at the Pier Head though.
Thats right, DKL. That photo shows the front of the market, which is the same position as the side of the market to the right of the steps. Remember that the road sloped up to Lime Street. Great Charlotte St ran right through to the Royal Court, the market on one side, the fish market on the other.
What a fantastic building. I don't remember it at all unfortunately. Are you sure it's where Tescos is, because I thought Tescos were in the old Owen Owen building. Could be wrong though.
The fellow in the dark suit, walking across the road by the striped pole (Belisha Beacon) is crossing Great Charlotte St, the section that is now part of St Johns Market.
The chap walking in the other direction,is walking across where the top of the steps are now!

.............the steps that lead out of St Johns, opposite Tescos - I get it. Stupid me was thinking of some other steps, inside Tesco - which when I came to think of it go up. Need to stop taking those stupid pills.
Thanks for putting me right.
Ahhhh a sloping road. That makes sense Thanks for clearing that up. It was niggling at me.
Never minded getting lost in the old market (see previous post) as it was an Aladdin's cave and lots to draw your attention.
In the current market, I reckon I'd just have been bored.
Hi DKL and welcome,
here's a pic' of roughly the same area, in the 70's, complete with sloping rd!
Ta,Steve.
It never seemed to slope that much though did it, not even to warrant all those steps there at the moment, it was a very gradual, almost un-noticable incline.
