Isn't it odd, that nobody is ever identified as being responsible, for making these bloody awful decisions! They seem to get off "scot free", and get to keep thier backhanders!!!! Pity there's no one here with access to council meeting minutes,etc, and maybe we could give them some well deserved publicity
I was fascinated to read your contribution and to see the photographs and maps, especially those that show the salt house. Can you tell me, please, whether there are any sources of information on people who worked as salt officers in Liverpool docks? I am researching a William Stephenson who was a salt officer c 1766, and would love to find out more about what his work involved.
Thanks for posting all this interesting information. I do hope more is done by the authorities to preserve Liverpool's past.
Amazing thread guys.
I thought my father worked in Canning Place but may be mis-remembering. He worked his whole life for E.H. Jones, I think it was E.H. Jones, Paint Ltd. Something like that. He started there at a teenager and retired in his 70's. One job all his life.
Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
I think I have a pic of E.H. Jones premises in Canning Place.
Fine photograph, Ged. Thanks for sharing it with us.

The amount of times I must have driven around Canning Place and not noticed how wonderful it was!! It was all around us and we never appreciated how brilliant much of it was. When the philistines took it away we never complained. Are we as much to blame?

Looking along the Dock Rd with Canning Place the next corner on the left. The Customs House columns can be seen.

The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
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?

It's the same with anything local, u just take it for granted. Maybe we were brainwashed with being told how much things would be bigger and better than what's there but over the year we've come to realise that the powers that be usually talk total crap and now we kick up more of a fuss than we ever used to
