Good pictures Sirob!Originally Posted by Sirob
as always, fantastic pics.
Unseen Liverpool
Great memories of Woodside, Merseywail
Some 1983 views of derelict Albert Dock, the last pic shows the Holiday Inn.
You take them for granted - until one day they're gone!
Why were the modern buildings in Canning Place demolished? They were quite nice, well made buildings.
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

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?

Great pics again Sirob, I bet PhilipG will appreciate those. Never knew the Astoria was a drumming venue though
ayjaykay the little icons are great ar'nt they.and say so much.what larks.
I worked in Foster House for all of a week. As kids hanging around down by the muddied Albert Dock in the 1970s, we sometimes go over to the back of Steers House and climb the big black fire escape to the top. The Dolphin pub was there too. I can sort of see what WW means though in that the proposed black blocks of steel and glass and some of what's being built are not that far removed in design from what these were.
Wonderful.
Especially the interior of the Bedford.
