There were pieces of the doorway decoration,left in a pile,in what must have been the cellar,for quite a few years! I phoned the maritime museum regarding this,to be met with total disinterest!! These remains were removed/stolen during the building of Liverpool 1,so they must have been of use or interest,to someone!! (like the gates)
The remains were not stolen, the council took them away.
Bits of the remains where stolen but most of it was still there, buried in the undergrowth. It was being stored on behalf of the city council at a tourist attraction in Liverpool. I was watching the clean up team that had to come and remove the syringes and needles that had found their way into the cracks and crevices of the stonework over the years. Turns out the recessed demolition site of the sailors home had become a lurking area for down-and-outs and heroin addicts.
The 'Liver Bird' from the centre of the decoration is being cleaned up and is almost on display.
