The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
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?

Yes, I saw drawings of a really modern looking buildings with long straight window lines on the site of the North Western Hotel, circa 1947. Thank God that never happened.
The hotel was a failure and was railway offices after and much of the time unused or partially used, so developers were always keen to get their hands on it and demolish. I don't think it would make a great hotel today as it is too far from the docks/river, where most hotels want to be, and should be.
