A fantastic piece of modern architecture.:PDT11
The building is nice. I would put more trees tho...and more grass, like large grassy terraces scaled on different levels towards the canal instead of the concrete plaza. God loves a land lover... thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it.:PDT11:PDT10

Hi! I'm new to this forum, in fact it's the only forum I've been on...so just feeling my way. Don't know how to start a new thread without "replying" to someone first, but will try this anyway. I would like to hear from any members who are descendants of my great grandfather, Alberto Bioletti, as I am writing a biography about his life. I have a lot of material already, fand some family trees but always looking for more.
I noticed a Christine earlier on... if you get this message, please reply and maybe we could get together via e-mail sometime? Am I doing this right folks?

yukoner 1234,

Click on one of the forums, then click on 'new thread'.
This will start a thread on your subject.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
MERSEY Ferries is to be given a 125-year lease for the land to build its new £10m building at Liverpool’s Pier Head.
It comes as Merseytravel, the authority which runs Mersey Ferries, is also in negotiations to operate the new prestigious cruise liner facility which is due to open in September.
Last night, Merseytravel bosses said the granting of the lease was the final piece of the jig-saw before work on the new ferry building could start.
It is hoped work on the new facility will start later this month, with the scheduled opening next summer.
According to a report for Liverpool City Council’s executive board, Merseytravel will pay £30,000-a-year in rent for the site or 7% of the market rental of the property, whichever is higher.
The authority will be given a 12-month rent-free period to reflect the expected construction period.
Under the agreement, the council will rent an additional piece of land to the current site from Mersey Docks and Harbour Company.
The whole of the site will then be let to Merseytravel so that the new facilities can be repositioned.
A spokesman for Merseytravel said: “This is a good example of co-operation between partners.
“It shows that things are moving forward on the scheme.”
In March, Merseytravel was given permission to demolish its current building.
The new facility will have improved café and retail amenities, waiting areas, easy access to a new landing stage and a river viewing area.
The low-rise design, which has not met with favour in all quarters, has been developed to retain the spectacular view of the Three Graces from the river and the views of the river from Water Street and Brunswick Street.
The Daily Post revealed that one of the world’s biggest holiday operators, Thomson Cruises, is to base a luxury liner in Liverpool.
A record 30 cruises, carrying around 50,000 passengers, will start in Liverpool during 2008 to destinations such as the Amazon, Greenland and the Mediterranean.
Thomson is joining Fred Olsen Cruise Lines and Page and Moy and Saga, who are all stepping up their 2008 programmes from the Mersey.

The Shanghai Palace is finally getting demolished...probably the best view is from Wirral, or a ferry.
Their website is still around:

One is going back to the Pier Head

FOR 87 years, the statue of King Edward VII sat on his horse on a granite pedestal overlooking the River Mersey.
Now his majesty is on his way back to his familiar spot on the waterfront after a thorough spring clean by experts at Liverpool’s Conservation Centre.
Specialist restoration work was carried out after the statue was moved from the Pier Head so the new Leeds-Liverpool canal extension could be laid.
The refurbished 16ft bronze is photographed leaving the centre before making its way across the city back to the Pier Head.
It has been restored using a combination of the latest technology and traditional conservation methods.
Created by sculptor Sir William Goscombe, the statue was unveiled by King Edward VII’s son, the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) on July 5, 1921.
