Stanley Dock

[snappel]

He is long gone Snappel, Germans got him in WW1, 1917

A brave man then - he has my respect.

Yes, certainly copy the photos. I'll try and do a new thread on the Stanley warehouses (all three) in the Urban Exploration section and put up a better selection of pictures.

[Gnomie]

Thanks Snappel.

I would love to get in to see this stuff, great pics

Im glad the buildings are being saved, but who will live there? who will be able to afford it? outsiders?

Here's a prime example of who can afford to live in these luxury dwellings:

L'pool Echo. Wednesday:
... guns, drugs and ammunition were found. the Matrix team swooped at the exclusive Beetham Tower, Old hall st.


Makes you wonder doesn't it. What you have to be to afford one of those luxury places.

Well, you'd have to be a high flying exec with a large salary; or a loadsa' money gangsta' ... I don't think those places are for the average Joe Bloggs are they

[snappel]

Well, my point was that either the gangsters or execs could be local to Liverpool.

Anyway, I think it's all about supply and demand. Right now there's a big market for that kind of accomodation. Due to house price rises, even if more developments were started in the suburbs, they'd still be quite pricey.

[lindylou]

Yes, that's true enough. The cost of housing in the suburbs is ridiculous. Prices of property - even the humble terrace is way out.
A new build detached - some astronomical figure.

Peel have been trying to buy Stanley Dock warehouses for inclusion in the Liverpool Waters scheme as a leisure/ museum/ waterfront/ next AlbertDock

There will be apartments, there will be cars but there will be floating barges and restaurants and great places to visit.

It's just that if the warehouses are sold to Peel, they will have to pay more for them with planning permission that has been applied for.

Public notices in the Daily Post..........................

with 135 apartments. Create an open area of space and light sail sculptures and create floating pontoons for restaurants and bars.

2)Alter,extend and convert Tobacco Warehouse so as to comprise 3426sqm of business uses, 2792sqm of exhibition space and a gym of 939sqm together with 647 apartments. Erect a MSCP and 3 floating pontoons for recreation use.

3) Demolish south warehouse annexe and covert to provide 149 apartments,7345sqm of business space and 730sqm of retail space and provide surface level car parking.

[snappel]

By south warehouse annexe do they mean the lower bit round the back used for the market?

I'm not sure Snappel?

Erect a MSCP and 3 floating pontoons for recreation use.

I think these were going to be used for the floating restaurants,just imagine how great that would be.
