The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
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?

Can anybody help?
I have just uncovered an ancestor as having as business in 1911 at 23 Washington Buildings, Lower Castle St. The business was "Holdsworth Ernest + Co, Commission Agents".
Any information on either the premises or the company would be really gratefully accepted - either pre or post 1911.
The name of my ancestor is Frederick Fellows, but at this time he was going by the surname of Fellows Poole (though Poole never appeared in his name until 1901 that I am aware).
ALSO
The son of the above mentioned was listed as a licenced victualler in 1911 (again using the name Frederick Fellows Poole). He was at 9 Goree Piazza.
I have found some great photos of this building on the site, but would like to know how I can trace the name of the pub.
Any clues????
Thanks
But WW... it isn't a proper French chateau, it's a hotel in a wet and windy nothern English city.
Whilst we're at it why don't we knock down the round bit at the north end of St. Georges Hall? After all, Greek and Roman temples (on which the Hall is based) seldom had apses.
Advocating the removal of the 'ear muffs' is historical vandalism, altering Waterhouse's original design and to it I say "non!"
It was based on the style of French Château. The building opposite was based on a Greek building, but it also is not in Greece.
It is not vandalism. It will clearly improve the building. And do what the original designer wanted. It is only grade 2 listed and only from 1867. The ear muffs were a way to attempt to hide the stacks - not very successfully. It looks so much better without them - much more crisp. The earmuffs obscure the attractive spires -they must go. Also, the now needless stacks require maintenance and many have fallen.Advocating the removal of the 'ear muffs' is historical vandalism, altering Waterhouse's original design and to it I say "non!"
