    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?

    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.

    I'm not sure but I think the blue hoardings are for the new screen that's going to hide the car park.
