Can't wait to see Chavasse Park taking shape again, it was great seeing it being excavated when it all began, a sign of all these improvements on the way, but it'll be great to have the greenery back again :unibrow:
As for my long-running puzzle as to why one end-wall of John Lewis had been left "open" while the rest of it was glazed and cladded, massive units of some kind (air conditioning?) were being lifted into the gaps today on each floor so I guess it'll be sealed up pretty soon. Then, maybe, they'll start on the bridge.

Several of these stores are already trading in Liverpool and are simply moving to the new location. Let's hope that the vacated stores are quickly taken up by other occupiers. Otherwise it will be a repeat of what has happened in Warrington where following the Golden Square shopping centre expansion, virtually all the shops in one of its main streets ( Bridge Street) have been vacated and are now boarded up and forlorn.Quote:

That's Church House, it was there already and one of a few that were spared the bulldozing :unibrow:
I think the new Chavasse Park atop the underground car park will be a similar size to what the old park was, with the added extras of the pavillions above South John Street.
i thought grosvenor wasnt aloud to do that, have existing traders, or was it that he had to fill spaces vacaited by the stores that re locaited?
kat:shock:
There'll be a few from stores that had no relocate, like HMV, Argos, that lot, but I imagine there'll be a lot who'll be moving from their existing shop to a bigger and better one, John Lewis's for instance. Like Taffy says I hope it doesn't leave Church St like a ghost town.
Thanks Iain.. lucky lovely looking building.. I am sure when I come there again .. I will be lost... lol:rolleyes: But will look for that lovely site..
This used to be the administrative offices for the Church of England's Diocese of Liverpool. They have recently moved out to new offices next to Liverpool Cathedral. The building was originally built as a Church of England Mission to Seamen.Quote:

The cladding on one park west is looking great (you can't tell off this),one of my favourite buildings going up so far.
Yes Paul, I was sceptical about One Park West when they shortened the tower, but it's looking great already, especially in the view alongside the Liver Buildings from the Salthouse Dock... looks so much better in real life (even just at the concrete stage) than the artists impressions.

FAT in Paradise
These are the first images of architect FAT’s pavilion project for Grosvenor’s £750m Paradise Street project in Liverpool.
The building within a building includes two retail kiosks and a two-storey coffee shop with a terrace. FAT beat off competition from Marks Barfield Architects, Page/Park and Hawkins\Brown to secure the scheme.

The FAT designed pavillion is known as Site 8A. The pavillion sits inside the walkway known as Church Yard (essentially a box in a box).....
