    Will be good with the refurbished store coupled with that new extension.

    well the pictures seem to suggest otherwise. that looks very external to me.

    looks eco friendly and is certainly striking though

    They probably didn't want their plans being leaked early, looks very impressive and love the tree on the roof.

    M&S have owned those properties at the rear for quite a while. They were going to redevelop the store about 10 years ago but then the company's profits fell and they put the plans on hold.

    Taken from the executive board papers, from the meeting of 22nd April this year.

    The plans to extend to Williamson Square are very much on and ploughing ahead.

    "M&S are about to embark on a major refurbishment and expansion of their
    existing store into 19-25 Williamson Square. 21/23 Williamson Sq is not
    currently owned by a M&S. M&S have agreed (subject to contract) to dispose of
    the freehold of 24-25 Williamson Square to Kingsley Properties Ltd and then
    take back a 99 year lease of 21/25 Williamson Square."

    This will improve Williamson Square no end.

    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?

    I guess they'll do the back first (as in the side on the square), move everything into that side while they do up the Church St side and then open it all up as one once it's all finished.

    I wonder if Rapid will be opening a few years/months earlier now.
