I noticed theres no roof

That's what I like. I've visited Liverpool One a few times now. Can't say there is much in the way of shops there that appeal to me and I don't think any of the individual architecture is outstanding. However, I do like the way the development integrates fairly seamlessly with the rest of the city and connects the area between Church Street and the Albert Dock. It does still concern me that we now have streets and a park that are privately owned. The BBC recently interviewed both Grosvenor and Liverpool City Council and were assured that there was an agreement between them that the public would have the same rights in Liverpool One as anywhere else in the city. However, when they arrived to film there they were immediately accosted by security staff asking if they had permisssion to do so. I await with interest what will happen when the first legitimate trade dispute breaks out there and the staff try and picket their employer. I suspect that as it is private property they will have to move to the boundaries of the development or face arrest. The same would also apply to any other political dissent such as animal rights activists protesting against the selling of furs by one of the stores.

Amazing photos guys, I am really immpressed with the progress that has been made since I was last home August 2007, I am hoping to be back this year some time in June, for 3 months. I have been in Aus for the last 28 yrs but Liverpool is still my home, and I hope to come back there eventually to live out the rest of my life, I have my only son who is living in Parbold Lancs , and two daughters out here in Aus plus 5 grandchildren , which makes things difficult for me and my wife to come back to live. But hopefully we can do it.
Cheers Keith.

I think some of my inital fears about this project are beginning to resurface. Far from the seemless integration with the rest of the city promised it seems that Liverpool ONE begins where the street names end.
