Lost Liverpool Buildings Top 5

[Waterways]

...or 5 bulidings I wish we still had and without which the city is a lesser place...

1. Overhead Railway.
Structures like

these become of great cities, and our one was indeed part of that vision. An awful loss not to still have it, and with the developments in the pipelines it

would have become ever more relevant and ever more iconic. If I become a billionaire I will rebuild it! As was!!

A very sad loss.

2. Customs House.
Where that awful Halifax is on the Strand. Again, it was recoverable save for the historic age-old Liverpool

lurgy of self-interested, bent petit-politicos.

The building was repairable. It was only burnt out, not bombed. London wanted the Customs in the south, so Liverpool was raped again.

3. The Three Ugly Sisters.
Structures like these are the mark of great cities. I thought they were part of what our city, what our docks were about. Only lack of vision or soul allowed them to blitzed. If they were still there the redevelopement uses for them would be pretty exciting.

I'm glad they went. I hated them. The power station was built on Clarence Dock, which still can be excavated.

4. The Old St.Johns buildings.
Seen them in pictures. They looked wonderful. Shame we lost that pile.

5. Gettin rid of the tram network. Understandable at the time but really a disaster. Ooops!

Most of the lines are still there.

- The round theatre from the 1700s In Williamson Square (Union Cold Storage used it).

- The Dukes Dock Brindley warehouses.

- All the in-filled Docks in Liverpool and the Wirral.

- The terraced row opposite Lime St station (the Guiness clock neon signs)

- Sailors Home

- The warehouses and buildings along the Strand near James St.

etc.
