    Excellent pics, GD.

    I think the McKenna's building has been painted since I was last down there. I used to work in the big red building that's opposite the old east float mill.

    Are the big propellers still at the steel place further along ?

    I went into the Cheshire Line place when it was an open warehouse about 20 years or so ago; there was a car boot sale on in there and it looked very iffy. There was a couple of policemen outside but I went in anyway. Got myself a piece of therapy equipment that I was actually selling for a living at a cost of ?150.00p ,price at the car boot ? 50p. Result!!!!!!!!

    I wish they would take down the chimney stacks that straddle the Gallic roof spires. They are original, but they totally spoil the building.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    I like them. I think it would make the building less.
