    Default Unseen liverpool

    Some Street scenes taken a few days ago.



    The third picture shows a hidden Liverpool gem, its a coffee wholsalers who will blend you a 1lb of coffee from different bags. The smell of the place is worth a visit.

    Why were people so quick in demolishing these great buildings?

    In the 1960s no one thought of using a station as a basketball or concert arena. Woodside is also easy to get to from all over the region too, so an ideal site. The best location was Central Station, with its own underground station beneath. Imagine that as a concert arena. The city has done some really stupid things.

    Woodside was busy. Lime St was to take all the main line traffic, so Woodside had to go, along with Central and Exchange stations.

    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?

    You can't go wrong with the usual suspects Brian - ie. The Albert dock, both cathedrals (incl the top of the Anglican), The Walker Art Gallery, Museum, The Georges hall is open to the public now topped off with a ferry ride. There's still that Stewart Bale old liverpool photographs exhibition on at the conservation centre Whitechapel too.

    Brian, if you go to the Albert Dock take your folks up to the 4th floor and have lunch there, and on your way in and out of the cafe, look out of the windows facing the pier head. It never fails to stun me to see that view, and it will bring back maritime memories for you too especially. You can view the work that is going on at the pier head and marvell at it too.

    Enjoy yourselves and welcome to Liverpool Capital Of Culture, mate.

    Cheers. Kvn

    If you're taking a trip on the ferry on a Saturday Brian, I think you'll have to get an River Explorer ticket, which will cost you over a fiver for an adult. If you do though, it's worth getting off at Woodside and visiting Birkenhead Priory, which is only about ten minutes walk from the terminal and well worth seeing. Google it for a full description. Next door is the tower of St. Mary's church, which you can go up and get a fantastic view of the river and Liverpool's waterfront. Great backdrop for photos. All free.
