Went in there last year Phil and a few photos were taken, when I find them I will put one of them up, photos, I mean.

A waste of another fine Liverpool pub, but in the state it was in there was no doubt it had to go.

Nice to see the council finally realising it has to try and save properties, afetr the wanton destruction of the massive houses in Toxteth.

Happy days indeed Kev, they have reduced the number of apartments from 512 down to 418 , but this scheme could still give the city its first 50 storey tower !

I can't think of a more appropriate site for a scheme of this size, with Princes Dock a stones throw away

Looking at the towers in close proximity to this site one can expect two very tall structures on the site. I believe Beetham Wast have 168 apartments and that is a 40 story building. KE are calling for a 412 apartment building('s). Do the math.

I believe the accepted definition of a skyscraper is a building 50 floors high or taller. Lets hope this is Liverpool's first skyscraper.

Who gives a sh1t about terminology, let's just build the **** things...

Get them built so Snappel has something to climb.
