Skyscrapercity Liverpool

[Max]

They don't count Skybar posts as posts so I should have 5 not 3 there!

I'd make that forum interesting in no time If I wanted too. Too boring to post.

Just reading through as much as I can on 21st century Liverpool now. Can someone shorten what they want to do for me please so my eyeballs are wasted on watching ninjas?

So I'd say it's a shame for them and for you that you can't post there.

I don't want to - I have had enough of them. People obsessed with concrete for the sake of it. I'm sure they have shares in Readymix.

They want to built anything high with concrete - anywhere for no apparent reason. They preach to each other, who are all already converted, and bannish disenters. Plantpots.

So they want to mess up the environment too?

What's the score with the endangered West Waterloo?

Also, what happening with that canal link? Do they have to wait for the Museum to go on site first?

I know you're not so big on the canal but how about the the feasibility of a network of canalised roads into the city?

The Kings Dock renders appear to feature an extended Dukes dock continuing under a bridged Strand into the Formule 1 area* Be good if that were the case.

*thought it was the Chavasse but I just checked again..

I'll explain the city canals:

Extended Dukes ->Chavasse->Hanover St->Church St->Lord St to Mann Island.

Then to the North: The little streets of Vulcan/Cotton St to Stanley Warehouse, then under Great Howard and carrying on into the area bordered by the railway. This would make an excellent setting for our own Amsterdam type area, a bohemian, sleazy district with rehearsal rooms, clubs, pubs and peepshows amongst the reworked warehouses and new build.

Ever read Kevin Samson's "Clubland"?

Babble? Dave, I think you have created now 3 separate threads on SSC and the problems there. I've removed the last two. In each one the posts have been similar which is fair enough but they are problems u have had there and not here.

Lets make Yo! Liverpool a welcoming place for people and members here.

Quite correct.
Please accept my apologies Kev. I'm sorry.

Cheers mate

I used to visit Skyscraper City quite often but I moved here instead because it started to get incredibly boring there.

If they can get high concrete things in, yes. Every one of them wants the World Heritage Site dropped because it stops tall concrete things being built on the hertitage site. Plantpots the lot of them. A whole shinks conference could be set on them.

Hit the link in the sig. All is there. The in-fill was rejected. Expect more proposals from these sharks, so not over yet.

Also, what happening with that canal link? Do they have to wait for the Museum to go on site first?

It is going ahead and the canal has been moved over when running through the partially filled in Trafalgar Dock.

I know you're not so big on the canal but how about the the feasibility of a network of canalised roads into the city?

I like the canal link. The problem is to accommodate it the city prostituted itself and gave into demands from Peel/British Waterways that docks be infilled to canal boat depths. This precludes deep water vessels entering the docks near the city centre. A renovated SS Manxman and maybe Royal Iris and all the Birkenhead historic ships cannot now be berthed in docks near the centre.

You have to question the sanity of the people running the city do such an asinine thing.

The Kings Dock renders appear to feature an extended Dukes dock continuing under a bridged Strand into the Formule 1 area* Be good if that were the case.

They don't. There will be no extention of any dock water space. A great thing and should be done.

Great idea. I doubt they would like the Church St/Lord St part as that is shopping.

A fantastic read, as is Outlaws.

Not read that. I need to read Stars Are Stars.

Clubland's "Loin District" is what the Central North docks should be. Rotterdam crossed with Amsterdam crossed with Industrial Dockland Liverpool..

Be wonderful though wouldn't it? Boats going through the centre of town, from the new Hilton, up Hanover Canal, and into a Central Village canal which would run to the back of Bold St, back down to the new Museum. I can't think of anything better, tonnes of footbridges with chestnut sellers, moored restaurant boats and boats for gigs and clubs in the centre....?

Then the rough and ready New Amsterdam district to the north?

We should push this one.
