This wasn't my first visit to Liverpool ONE, but each time I do visit I am amazed.

Liverpool has come so far, in such a short space of time.

There will still be people who knock Liverpool, but walk around the city... nobody can argue that things are on the up.

It's great that visitors to the city can now disembark their cruise ships at Pier Head, walk through Albert Dock, into Liverpool ONE and then into the city.

Liverpool ONE is definitely the icing on the cake in our city's bid to become a European shopping destination.

:handclap: @Ross
Excellent views cheers :PDT11
architecture became very uniform. Glass, steel, ..... these building could also have been built in Germany. Only these brown colour of that one building is very Liverpoolish.
And I suppose there does only one company produce the handrails for the whole world.
Err, that's because it's the Court, it's not part of the development........ :)Quote:

The new place is a million times better.
Great pics...where's that spiral staircase?...never seen that before.
Q Park (the underground one!).Quote:

I think it is.
Yes, it appears the Poles are rusty too.
No. It is the result of the on-site engineers and foremen who oversee the construction.Quote:

I think that the new restaurants on the top floor of L1 that runs into the park are going to be lovely to sit outside in the summer, and the curved glass frontage to the shops in Keys Court is a modern take on a Victorian shopping arcade. It'll be nice to see the old Quiggins building when its finished. Everyone's photo's of the area are great to see :)
