Can someone please explain to me what it has in fact done to the 3 graces. Perhaps brought more people down to come and see them judging by the attendances at the museum?
Hi Ged

I am surprised you would ask that. The new buildings are a blot on the landscape, they block the view, they detract from the elegance of the Three Graces. I also have my doubts about the new canal, which seems to be an odd development. I think someone likened a couple of the buildings to shoe boxes... I'd agree... undistinguished and strange looking -- disposable architecture. The Museum of Liverpool building likewise, a piece of architecture that could be found in any modern city but better, I suppose, than the infernal Cloud which was proposed to be foisted on the city as a Fourth Grace. So it could be worse!



All the best
