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 can't tell you how much it means to me to be able to see so many old pictures of Liverpool. To me, it's a fascinating journey into the past of the city I love from the bottom of my heart.
My friends in Wigan gave me a book of old postcards of Liverpool several years ago but of course, it doesn't contain as wide a range as your pictures do. So, thank you so much again!
Great photo of Exchange Station Sirob

The pollution levels were so bad the buildings turned black - to think of all the lungs destroyed. Ben E King described Liverpool in the very early 1960s as having bible black buildings. The sooner diesel engines are banned (they emit soot) and electric vehicle introduced the better.
Few of us appreciated the buildings until they were cleaned.
