I've always thought the management of the Albert dock,to be more than a bit half-hearted,as in, sit on our jacksies,and they will come! (Anyway)

The city centre needs merging with the Dock R, urban motorway, by eliminating the Dock Rd at that point. If the Kings Dock branch docks had been left and modern buildings of the Albert Dock formula were built around the quays, then the whole area would have been vibrant.
Of course there needs to be some attractions, but that is the easy bit.

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?

Good pics. That top pic really takes my eye - very nice,
Nice photos joe.
The Albert Dock is a lovely building, but it's a place I never go to. There just aint anything to drag me in there.
The restaurant on the side opposite the museum that lets kids "build their own pizza" by bringing the raw ingredients to the table was a cute idea - but their menu also had adult stuff on it too. My sisters grandkids really liked it after a trip to "Bug World".
I think Albert Dock is definitely worth a trip every time I'm in Liverpool, and you can even park there at the new arena...
