Got to disagree with you on this one Gerard. For years Commutation Row was a disgrace and an embarrasment to Liverpool. I for one was glad when it was redeveloped. The fact is there is still traditional housing where Gerard Gardens stood so whats the problem?Quote:

Anyway why should Liverpool's ambitious lower middle classes be held back any longer by the scall class in Liverpool?
You said Subs them developments would not work in the London Rd area because of Culture differences..Quote:

The old and the new Next to each other..I know..I live there..
As for Commutation Row being a Disgrace and Embarrasment to Liverpool,Wasn't the Albert Dock Area one time as well..
Weren't the Fancy dock apartments a Disgrace one Time..
Commutaion Row was no more a Disgrace Than the Berry Street area..
It was allowed to Rot and something should have been done about it in keeping with its heritage..NOT fancy apartments,
I agree Subs..We definately are going to have to beg to differ on this one.

I'm sorry TJ's is crap. However, to return to the point London Road will remain a traditional area aimed at working class people under the new scheme. There probably will be new flats and retail units but I can hardly see Gucci opening a store there can you?Quote:

There ain't much in London Rd except the Odeon and TJs (and the Royal George which I oft frequent). The Odeon will probably end up in some multiplex in Paradise St. and TJs might well relocate to Church St with Primark when the rest move out to Paradise St. Guess Church St. will become the new London Rd. and London Rd. will be finished. (And the smokin' ban will probably finish the George). :sad:

Yes Kev - I'm aware of all the new build in London Rd. I meant finished as a shopping street which I remember it as a kid. Don't you wonder what the implications of the Paradise St. development will be tho' for the rest of the city's shopping streets? - It's got to have some kind of knock on effect.Quote:

Maybe it'll all turn out okay and we will end up with a greater diversity of shops in the city centre hence negating the need to go elsewhere. I was lookin' for a pet shop the other day and since the demise of City Pets (now Lloyds Bar) couldn't find one - ended up having to go to Old Swan.
Erm, because they want to spend their money In Manchester.:PDT10Quote:
