According to Pat Neil, the next water fountain United Utilities are going to put back on again is the one outside St Mick's on West Derby Rd next to Ogdens. Pat's gone over there today to tidy it up. That was the church (and SFX) that all the RC side of my family used to attend.
THREE teenagers found themselves in a spot of bother after trying to scale one of Liverpool’s most recognisable landmarks.
The youngsters clambered onto the famous Superlambanana - currently stationed outside the JMU building on Tithebarn Street - but once up there could not get back down.
Their friends were unable to help, and the trio were eventually forced to call the Fire Service. continues....
******s, it's not that high. We used to drop from the first landing of the tennies.
Wrap 'em up in cotton wool these day Ged! We used to do the same, thing is though, if one tried to get down on their own and fell with an injury, there would probably be a claim there :rolleyes:Quote:

If you check the OS 1851 map the border runs alongside the church property putting it in Wavertree.

Fine photograph of the Steble Fountain, Tony. I have not seen that inscription before. Well done.

Pat's just emailed me with a link to a couple of videos about the Melly Fountain in Woolton. You'll need Real Player.Quote:

The sculptor, Sir George Frampton, had not modelled Peter Pan on Michael Llewellyn Davies as Barrie had intended. Instead, he used another boy, possibly James W. Shaw or William A. Harwood. Still, the statue, both the Liverpool version and the one in London, continues to delight children of all ages. :handclap:

I personally think that some sort of monument or statue should be created to commemorate our Capital of Culture year. It would be great to see some sort of public consultation on what should be created to involve the people of Liverpool. It would give us all something to be proud of and something for us and future generations to remember 2008 by.
A great idea. :PDT11
A campaign has been launched to replace a historic sculpture at Liverpool's St George's Hall that would complete the grade II listed building's restoration. The hall has been restored for the opening ceremony of the city's year as Capital of Culture.
But the original marble sculpture had decayed and has not been in place for 50 years.
The original design celebrated Liverpool's enterprise, craft and skills as major city in the world.
Now £3m is needed for a new sculpture with an updated design in place.

I would like to say that this a gift from the people to the city
The finished sculpture will weigh 90 tonnes (90,000 kg) and will have been carved from a 100 tonne (100,000 kg) block of marble.
It will take 18 months to carve and will consist of five pieces which slot together.
The new design will be comprised of figures reprsenting society, history, time and commerce and Europe to symbolize Liverpool's past and present.
Terry McGunigle, who is leadiong the campaign, said: "What we want now is not to replace it, but to do a new version because we are a new generation and a new people.
"It has provisionally been backed by the city council and we have been working with English Heritage.
"We can get the money from corporate sponsorship but I would really like the people to take ownership of it and donate money.
"I don't want it to be just another council led initiative. I would like to say that this a gift from the people to the city."

I had friends visit from Newcastle last year and when I suggested a visit to the Albert Dock it was the first thing they wanted to see. They were quite disappointed it was gone. Mind you one of them supports NFC so she should be used to disappointment :unibrow:

I tried to photograpgh that last one (Commercial Road), but I could never get a good view. It's a gated community car-park, so access is difficult. I even tried from by the canal, down below.
