    That warehouse was designed by W. Aubrey Thomas for Bibby's.
    So much has gone, and continues to go.

    Didn't he design the Liver? I thought it was Bibby's. I recall the large place. I was going to go for an interview for a job there once, and never did, but knew where it was.

    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?
